Blood doesn't wash away easily - not from the hands, not from the soul.
Evelyn Volkov learned that young. The daughter of a man once whispered about in every alley of Moscow - the Ghost of the East, Mikhail Volkov - she grew up in a mansion built from secrets and silence.
Now, years after her father's retirement, she lives behind tall iron gates, trying to be normal in a world that will never forget her last name.
But peace is a fragile thing.
Because monsters don't die.
They wait.
And when they come back - they come for the ones you love.
That's when he arrived.
Her bodyguard.
Her curse.
Her only protection - and her greatest danger.
