From farmer's daughter to deadly assassin.
"An explosive read that pumps along." Patrick McGeown, aka
Captain Pat, the genius behind Jack Fringe.
At the tender age of fourteen, Kristina and her big sister Ruza
witness the brutal murder of their beloved father. They are abducted,
drugged and enslaved before joining the never-ending stream of young
girls sold to rich customers.
While her sister is quickly sold off,
Kristina becomes the gang's sex slave poster girl. Groomed by a
sadistic, morphine addicted nurse known only as The Dragon, she endures
the ensuing years thanks to the cocktail of drugs designed by a master
pharmacologist to keep the girls submissive and to erase their short
term memory day after day.
Kristina finally escapes and her Romani
heritage endears her to Begonya, a patron of Gypsy youth. With their
help, Kristina recovers from the agonising pain of withdrawal, and
despite the black hole in her memory, she retains the emotional pains of
her captivity.
These emotions fuel her rage! Fearless and motivated,
Kristina learns the arts of lethal violence from the Romani champions
who frequent their farm. Setting a brutal daily training regime, she
rapidly hones her skills, fed by the rage that burns within her.
On
her eighteenth birthday, Kristina sets out to find Ruza and kill the
members of the gang that ruined her life. On her journey she befriends a
senior police officer who does all he can to find Kristina's sister, but
can't stop her from eliminating her tormentors.
In Chief Police Agent
Sasho Dvorksy's own words, Kristina is 'beautiful, but dangerous.'
