She's spent her whole life believing she was just another Canadian in service to her country-until the day everything falls apart.
Raised in Toronto with no memory of her early childhood in Gilead, Special Agent Violet Bristow channels her sense of justice and sharp instincts into joining an elite branch of the Canadian Secret Service. Tasked with protecting the Prime Minister, she thrives in a world of precision, strategy, and resilience-until a historic diplomatic envoy turns into a nightmare.
An ambush leaves her team dead and Violet captured. Stripped of her identity and cut off from any support, she quickly realizes the attack was a trap and she's on her own. Her captors seem to know more about her than she does-hinting at a past she's never been told.
Trapped deep in hostile territory, Violet must play a dangerous game: survive, earn trust, and uncover who these enemies really are-and what it would take to destroy them. As she pieces together fragments of intelligence, a chilling truth emerges: Gilead is a far more dangerous place than she thought possible. And it intends to consume her. If she wants to make it out alive and exact justice, she'll have to become someone even she doesn't recognize.
A Handmaid's Tale sequel and The Testaments rewrite. June Osborn's youngest daughter, baby Nicole aka Violet, was raised in Canada with never learning of her connection to Gilead. Violet went to the protest that day as a teenager, but instead of a victim, left a Protector. Returning to Gilead was her fate.
