But as Nikolai pushes Anya to her breaking point, teaching her to fight, to shoot, and to embrace the darkness within her, he finds himself captivated by the fiery spirit she's kept hidden for so long. Caught between two monstrous men, Anya must choose her path. Will she remain a victim, or will she become the monster Nikolai wants her to be?
