Description
A HEIST GONE WRONG. A GANG SHATTERED. Volya Angelov, known by the public as the Priest for his cult-like following, knows how to make a deal and take what's rightfully his. He and his criminal prodigies have siphoned Gorod Krestov's wealth for years and are slowly draining the city's slums with their profits. Yet when he is arrested and shipped off to an island prison, his empire is left to his closest ally, Mysh, a girl who stands a mere five feet. It's up to her to manage what he's left behind and decide whether or not the syndicate should be risked for his life. But with demons from a haunting past and sinister characters converging all around her: can Mysh pull it off? "SIX OF CROWS" meets "PEAKY BLINDERS" in this twisty, 1920s-set novella with enough suspense to keep you reading until the church bells chime. honors/awards: june 29: onc 2021 top 5 winner (fourth place) april 24: ambassador's pick for round two of the 2021 open novella contest (onc) "novyye saints" is 6x featured on: @opennovellacontest's "2021 top five winners" list and "2021 ambassador picks" @shortstory's "another time, another place" reading list @historicalfiction's "decade fiction" reading list @badassreads's "the ruffians" reading list @storiesundiscovered's "historically inaccurate" reading list for the month of august copyright © 2021 elle chaika open novella iv (2021) entry under prompt no. 29
