Dark Eyes

Wallis Stoneman was born in Russia, abandoned to an orphanage and then adopted by a wealthy American couple as a young child but rejected her lavish lifestyle as a teenager to live on the streets of New York.

Despite being fiercely independent and self-reliant, Wallis is desperate to find her birth mother but it soon becomes clear that the truth about her past and the consequences for her future are more extreme and deadly than she could ever have imagined. As she and her friends become caught up in a world of ruthless gangsters, a fight to stay alive begins.

This is a gritty, fast-paced adventure thriller, with the cinematic feel of a Hollywood action movie. With very strong language and scenes of extreme violence, it is best suited to older readers.
