He didn't inherit the criminal underworld. He engineered it.
Kiev, the late 1980s. The Soviet Union is falling apart, and its shadow economy belongs to whoever moves first.
Oleg Khanin moves first. The old bosses rely on muscle and connections; he relies on patience and analysis. He studies the city's black market until he knows where the money flows, who can be bought, and who will break under pressure. By the time his rivals understand what he is building, the empire already answers to him.
Then a rival faction breaks the truce. Car bombs explode on crowded streets. Men are shot in broad daylight. Oleg answers violence with calculation, and his enemies soon discover that his silence is more dangerous than any threat he could make.
Viola knew him before any of this.
She fell in love with Oleg long before the empire, and she has watched that man recede with every order he gives and every body left behind. She has no illusions about his world. She wants him to leave it while there is still something of him left to save.
Oleg knows how to defeat his enemies. He knows how to hold power once he has taken it. What he does not know is whether he can abandon the world he built without destroying himself-or lose Viola by remaining inside it.
He built his empire by understanding exactly what other men were willing to sacrifice.
Now he must decide what he is willing to sacrifice himself.
