Prologue

After admitting to murdering at least seven people, Anastasia Morozov is sent to prison.

But Anastasia is not someone who can be cooped up for long.

When she escapes, Meredith Friedrich is sent to scout out the city of Mefiant and report back, nothing more. She is helped by a girl who is too smart for her own good and strangely vague about most things concerning her personal life.

"She knew that she had to start stirring the pot, or fingers would start pointing towards her more quickly than she was comfortable with.

She was already struggling with her current route, because deep down, Anastasia Morozov was not a terrible person.

But it was too late to be the good guy."
