Astrid Ivanovich has returned to the sinister high class society of Moscow that her mother escaped over two decades ago.

Diving into the world of organized crime, expensive vodka, and fake smiles, Astrid must use every ounce of cunning she possesses to claim what no woman in their world has dared reach for before: power.
