Razorblade Kyiv

Kyiv, Ukraine, 2015. Meet 28-year old Ukrainian Anichka Vuznok: a Goth, a professor, a writer, a war correspondent, and the word she hates most-"victim." After her ex smears her name and her reputation online using email and social media spiked with snippets of revenge pornography, Anichka finds herself at the mercy of her father, a diplomat whose money and power and influence control his daughter and her professional and personal realms. Fervently, Anichka protests her father's solution to the problem he believes she created herself: a former Kommondo Spiezlekraefte sniper-turned-bodyguard-for-hire named Peter, a man Anichka wants to believe she can survive without... until her stalker arrives in Kyiv, and she grasps that Peter may even save her from her own self-destructive desires. But when Anichka's father orders Peter on a mission to the Eastern Front, Anichka bucks her father's control and twists her life onto an entirely new path, one she hopes will make her disappear...forever. Razorblade Kyiv is the emotionally charged, acerbic account of a tumultuous young woman struggling to survive the toxic onslaught of cyberstalking and war, to overcome the loss of freewill and the demise of her desire to live, and to conquer the undying desire to escape her given and chosen circumstances via any means possible.
