For the only way she can survive as a spy at a boarding school for the cream of Nazi society is to become a monster like them. A monster who can destroy them.

Well written & intelligent spy adventure featuring a memorable, resourceful heroine...even at 380+ pages I raced through it! An excellent debut & ending left open for a sequel (fingers crossed!)...
