Compared to the glamorized reputation given to assassins, Grace Romanov can safely say that it's a very far stretch between reality and our Hollywood fantasy. In 1939, while on a mission as part of the Agency's plan for an eventual dominion over Europe and its counterparts, Grace is bound to a chair in the Middle of Syria, while the Germans are cooking up something deadly sinister. After loosing her sister and both parents at the tender age of fourteen, the Russian native is stolen from her Moscow home and transported into the hectic world of political warfare. Moulded into a weapon by her handlers, she is used as a tool of elimination for anyone in the way of the Agency. Threatened by the German's plans, Grace must take up an unlikely ally to stop the outbreak of another great global conflict, and seek personal redemption on the way.All Rights Reserved

Verity attended NLA, New Life Academy. One day, when she is at school, the unspeakable happens- her adoptive father commits.

The man she falls in love with without realizing. As her story unfolds and secrets reveal, Verity goes through an emotional rollercoaster.
