Leaving university behind, she focused on getting money: she sang, she dance and, above it all, she saved; all for the reason that she wanted to pay someone to find anything foul about her older sister's soon-to-be-husband, a man too old for her and two of her friends that went missing far too many years ago. And she finds someone who knows all the secrets of Kerch. Kaz Brekker - though she knows him by another name. Kaz Rietveld, her childhood friend, the one she was looking for. And she just can't understand how that boy she knew became the monster he says he is.
