'I have a whole group of cops that'll get your ass in a m-minute flat.'

But the second man comes closer. With no worry of me calling Detective Olivia Benson."
Ellie Benson never had problems growing up in New York. Nor did she think she would with NYPD's SVU on her side. But one night, walking home, she encounters a group of men. One takes her, one shoots at him without a second's warning. All the knowledge she has from her mother won't help her tonight.
Valeryia is one of the Red Room's most lethal killers.
But after one mission she decides to abandon the organization, to try to live a normal life.
The Red Room told her that her mother died when she was only a child, so Valeryia has no one.
But in a horrifying turn of events, Valeryia finds herself crossing paths with a certain red-haired assassin.
Follow Valeryia on her heat wrenching journey, as she rediscovers what secrets are hidden in her past.
