What’s this?
Winter, 1918. The guns of the Great War finally fall silent in Europe, and world leaders gather in Paris to ink new agreements and redraw the maps of the world. But to the east, Russia is ablaze – its history being written in blood as the ruthless civil war between Reds and Whites continues for the fate of the vast empire.
Anna Sokolova, a Soviet Cheka agent, arrives in Paris to set up an intelligence network that could tip the scales of the war at home when fate once again brings her together with William Arden, an American intelligence officer with secrets of his own.
When a daring diplomatic proposal promises peace for Russia, new threats emerge. As alliances shift and the lines between loyalty and betrayal begin to disintegrate, Anna and William find themselves pulled into the maelstrom of Russia’s fight for survival that carries them from the gilded salons of Paris to the starved streets of Moscow and across the frozen steppes of Siberia to the very edge of the world.
