When Seong vanishes from South Korea, she believes she has left her nightmare behind: a brutal gangster husband, a life ruled by fear, and a past that refuses to release her. But powerful men do not forgive betrayal—and they do not let what belongs to them disappear without consequence.

Determined to drag her back, her husband sends two ruthless former special services operatives to London with a simple order: find Seong, silence anyone who helps her, and bring her home. Alone in the shadows of Camden, Seong is hunted through a city that offers both sanctuary and danger at every turn.

When a stranger risks everything to protect her, Seong dares to believe escape may still be possible. Yet trust can be as dangerous as fear, and every alleyway, crowded market, and locked door, may lead her closer to the men closing in.
