Prologue

Ela is 19 years old. She learned at an early age that the word is one big theater piece. People are made to deceive and lie. As simple as that.

You lie or you're being lied to.
You win or lose.

Black on white.

Ela has learned to be an impeccable deceiver. Her ruthless father taught her everything she knows. Together they have completed dozens of missions. Always spotless. Until it went wrong.

Ela wants to start over. Make a fresh start. But is that possible? The past is unlikely to surrender. It will continue to exist. And worse. It will chase you. Until you're exhausted and must turn around. To face it.

What do you do when your life was never black and white? That there is indeed a bland cold color in between?
