ANASTASIA KNEW HOW TO SURVIVE. The atrocities of her childhood training had taught her how to keep herself alive, no matter the cost. It was this desperate mentality that persuaded her to sacrifice everything and escape when the opportunity arose, abandoning all she had for the hope of a better life. No matter the cost.

BUT OVER TIME, A BURNING RAGE began to grow inside the hardened woman, temporarily cauterizing the wounds of her traumatic upbringing. And as the years went by, the flames of her anger and frustration only grew. She tried to pacify it, dirtying her hands in an attempt to calm the insatiable fire alight inside her. The peace was fleeting, however, only momentarily reducing the burn to a smolder, nothing able to truly extinguish the wrath that threatened to consume her entire being.

AFTER A PARTICULARLY HIGH-PROFILE ASSIGNMENT gone awry, the former KGB operative turned mercenary is forced to go on the run once again. And when a menacing force enters the fold, Ana must confront it head-on by digging up the past she spent years trying to bury.
