Larkin is thirty, brilliant, and on the run from her past. When she arrives in Groningen, Netherlands, she fortuitously finds shelter in Greer Hendriks, an elderly local man deeply devoted to his beloved wife and floral shop. But he has one fear, dogs. And when Wren, an abused terrier, disobeys her unforgiving owner and follows Larkin home, fear is only the beginning.
As Larkin's past and present intertwine, she finds enemies and allies lurking in the shadows. Through the treacheries of intimidation, paranoia, and murder, Larkin seeks vengeance for her newfound family, and those without a voice. Stopping at nothing to resist recruitment from her depraved challengers, will her sacrifices be enough?
