When New Zealand SAS veteran Rod MacAllister falls in love with Anya Makarova, a mysterious young Russian woman living in Macau, he has no idea that their romance will draw them into a deadly international conspiracy.

Anya’s forgotten childhood hides a devastating secret. Abducted from rural Russia after her family was murdered, she was trafficked into the world of organized crime and raised within Macau’s powerful White Orchid Triad. Suffering from dissociative amnesia, Anya has no memory of the trauma that shaped her past or the dangerous forces that still control her fate.

When a conspiracy within the Triad sends Anya to Hong Kong with a message that could ignite a criminal war, she instead disappears with Rod to start a new life in New Zealand. Their escape triggers a violent chain of events involving Triads, the Russian Mafia, corruption, human trafficking, organized crime, and assassination.

As Hong Kong detective Andrew Wong follows the trail, Rod and Anya are forced to confront secrets that could cost them everything. From the streets of Hong Kong and Macau to the New Zealand countryside, their fight for survival tests the limits of love, loyalty, trust, courage, and redemption.
