A Young Adult novel series by Margaret Stohl focusing on the exploits of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Natasha Romanov in the aftermath of the Battle of New York. However the second book reveals that the series is not set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite Forever Red's implications to the contrary (Captain Marvel is referenced despite the fact that she has yet to be introduced to the MCU, among other details). The novels instead appear to be set in a universe that combines elements of the MCU with the main comics universe. The first book, Forever Red, released in 2015. The second book, Red Vengeance, released in 2016.The first book, Forever Red, focuses on Natasha's attempt to find and kill her Evil Mentor Ivan Somodorov, a teenage girl named Ava who Natasha had rescued from Ivan's clutches 8 years ago, and Ordinary High-School Student Alex Manor, whom Ava can see in her dreams for some reason.Agent Romanov believed that Ivan was dead after the S.H.I.E.L.D. raid on his Supervillain Lair in which she rescued Ava, but recent kidnappings suggest that Ivan is Not Quite Dead. Realizing that Ava plays a key role in Ivan's Evil Plan, Natasha and Ava, with help from Alex must track down and stop the man who has caused so much suffering and torment in their lives.

Secret Secret-Keeper: Black Widow knows that Coulson is alive, even though he still hasn't told the rest of the Avengers. Pepper and Coulson were responsible for taking care of Alexei on Natasha's behalf, and were sworn to secrecy from everyone, including Natasha herself.

Psychic Link: Ivan's experiments on Ava when she was a child created one between her and Natasha. His goal is to create an army of secret agents capable of linking with high ranking political and military leaders. By the end of the novel, the link between Ava and Natasha has been shut down, along with the linking abilities of Ivan's other agents.

Broken Pedestal: Ava holds this view towards the Black Widow because Natasha has avoided all of her attempts to get in contact with her rescuer. She gets better.

Dark and Troubled Past: the first book provides a more concrete view of Natasha's backstory, as opposed to the vague snippets in the films.
