Since the death of her mother three, Grace Blakely had been having nightmares of that incident. As an army brat, she never stayed in one place for long, moving where her father was sent. But with her father going to be deployed soon, and her older brother Jamie going to West Point, her father planned to send her to live with her grandfather in the European country of Adria, where he worked as an ambassador. Jamie did not like the idea of Grace going to live at the birthplace of their mother when her death was still raw in their hears, but Grace had to hope that maybe, just maybe, if she went far enough away, her nightmares would not get to her any more.
With her mother dead since three years ago, and her father being deployed to wherever the United States army sent him, Grace Blakely was sent to live with her grandfather, who is the ambassador to Adria in Europe. It was the place her mother grew up in, so Grace hadn't been back there for three years. Her grandfather and father had hoped that this could be a new start for her, in a new country. As her plane touches down outside the great walled city of Valancia, Grace hoped that her time in Adria could be as her father and brother Jamie had wanted. She did not want to cause any more trouble. But trouble always finds her.
A new series of global proportions -- from master of intrigue, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Ally Carter.
Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three things:
1. She is not crazy.
2. Her mother was murdered.
3. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay.
As certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her -- so there's no one she can completely trust. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door, who is keeping his eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands.
Everybody wants Grace to put on a pretty dress and a pretty smile, blocking out all her unpretty thoughts. But they can't control Grace -- no more than Grace can control what she knows or what she needs to do. Her past has come back to hunt her . . . and if she doesn't stop it, Grace isn't the only one who will get hurt. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand like dominoes, and one wrong move can make them all fall down.
