At nineteen years old, Kait Lokken knows exactly what she wants: a Krait patch. But when her father refuses to let her prospect, Kait leaves Denmark behind and heads to Moscow in search of something else: her mother and a grandfather she has never known.

Instead, she finds a city unlike anything she’s ever experienced, a dangerous world she was never meant to enter, and Jora Zmeyev, an ambitious young Russian criminal who gives her another reason to stay.

What begins as a search for answers becomes something Kait never expected, and scars that will follow her long after she leaves Russia behind.
