For the past fifteen years, questions about the past have been tormenting Alisa Belozerskaya. Where did the scars on her body come from? Who tried to kill her as a child? Why does she remember nothing? And who is to blame for the fire that took the lives of her father and mother? In search of answers, Alisa decides to return to Karelia—to the family home where she lost everything. But old ghosts won’t let her sort things out so easily: where is a dream, where are memories, and where is the truth.
