Dead Souls

Anastasiia Zhuravska, the daughter of Boris Zhuravsky and Sasha Zhuravska, was the treasured princess of the Ukrainian mafia. Loved by her father and fiercely protected by her older brothers, she lived a life surrounded by love and privilege.

Everything changed when the Slovakian mafia cult abducted the princess and her mother.

Weeks later of endless search, a videotape arrived at the Zhuravsky estate. It showed their little princess pulling the trigger and killing her own mother. Whether she acted under coercion or manipulation no longer mattered the image shattered her family beyond repair.

When Anastasiia was finally rescued, she expected to be held into the loving arms of her family.

Instead, she was condemned.

Her father and brothers blamed her for the kidnapping and for Sasha's death. The child they had once adored became a living reminder of their greatest loss.

On the morning of her sixth birthday, Boris abandoned his own daughter on the doorstep of an orphanage. Without a second glance, he and her brothers drove away, leaving their little princess behind.

She never made it inside.

Before the orphanage staff could find her, someone else took her.

For the next eleven years, Anastasiia endured nightmares beyond imagination. Every year stripped away another piece of the innocent girl she had once been until hope became nothing more than a distant memory.

The child who had once feared monsters eventually became one.

Monsters are not born.

They are made.

And Anastasiia Zhuravska is living proof.
