Galina Ivanov is Mycroft Holmes' biggest and most well-kept secret.

Rescued at the age of eleven from a Russian experiment gone wrong, Galina has spent the last ten years alone- isolated and hidden for her own protection.

After the threat has diminished- and at her insistence- Galina is finally allowed to assimilate with the civilian world, but there is one catch.

To live under the same roof as her two babysitters; Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson.

A high-functioning sociopath with no filter. A compassionate ex-soldier with a heart of gold. An innocent empath whose optimism is contagious.

What could go wrong?
