I'm an assassin who rose from hell and the rival Don is my target.
Once upon a December...
I was a wanderess, hungry, homeless, and then... bought, conditioned, and trained as a lethal assassin.
I don't remember who I am. I only remember my name. Anastasia.
To claim my life as a killing machine, I had to destroy others, and it became my violent destiny.
For seven long years, as the Bratva syndicate's chosen one, I have served my leaders, and now, they have given me a new target, a new assignment.
I'm a silent predator underneath my hood. No one is aware I'm a woman until I come across him -Surge Romano, the emerald-eyed Italian leader of one of the ruling families of New York. He's twice my age and the only non-blooded member of the rival mob.
My duty collides with desire for the first time. I'm here to steal his life, but I have forgotten that I have a heart that beats. I'm not capable of mercy. If I show it, it will be a grave mistake. Too late, I see him and I... hesitate.
Welcome to New York's Underworld.
Loosely based on the legend of Anastasia.
A WEB OF LIES is a standalone in the BLACK WIDOW series of Anastasia Volkova.
