A Russian peasant girl who just wants to belong. A group of terrorists who just want to end her.
It’s Russia 1914, and all is in upheaval.
A poor, peasant girl, Annaveta Travotsky discovers she is no longer safe. Orphaned at a young age after the suspicious deaths of her parents, she’s once again tormented by the terrorist group known as the Black Hand...
Annaveta flees, with her best friend Alex Wagner, to her wealthy aunt and uncle’s home in Odessa. She hopes to find a safe haven and instead uncovers a murderous plot…
Alex is loathe to leave the woman he loves alone and unprotected, but her family pressures him to join the war effort.
With his loyalties in question while his fears for Annaveta consume him, a tragedy rocks Odessa and seals his fate, forcing him to join the Imperial Russian Navy.
With Alex at war and Annaveta unprotected, the Black Hand is free to operate unchecked in Odessa.
Against the backdrop of corruption, murder and greed, Annaveta and Alex must fight for their lives to uncover the truth, protect their loved ones, and escape unharmed – before it’s too late.
