Born in a CIA escape vehicle amid the chaos of an assassination mission of a Russian government official, Austina was never meant to exist. Raised in the shadows by her parents, fluent in multiple languages before she could write, and trained in survival by two of the Agency’s best, her childhood was spent moving between safe houses across Europe. But when Austina’s parents mysteriously get taken, she learns the truth and is determined to free them. Paris turns into a city where deception is currency and trust can be fatal. Austina must outmaneuver the world’s most powerful intelligence forces on the streets of Paris. Little do they know, the streets of Paris were her playground growing up. She must stay one step ahead. Because if she fails, she won’t just lose her parents—she’ll lose herself.
