    About this series

    I was known as the traitor's daughter.

    When I was five years old, my father was tortured, branded with the letter Z, then beaten and left for dead. The grueling punishment for his crime was a reminder to all others who dared threaten the Russian's reign.

    I was the young girl left behind. A living piece of the traitorous puzzle the Russian leader tried so diligently to ignore-until I grew up. No longer could he deny how much my existence had always been intertwined with his. And in order to survive the life I was thrown into, I was forced to learn my place inside of it.

    Vlad Zalesky was a tyrant to the lost. I hated him.

    He was a terror of mass destruction. I was afraid of him.

    He was a tormentor of the weak. I only wanted to hide from him.

    But not far beneath the venomous man's outward indifference was something else. Vlad Zalesky carried secrets of unrestrained burden. I wanted to know those secrets. And because of the decisions I made, someone in our family had to pay.
