I've learned many lessons throughout my life, but one is more important than the rest: My life is not my own. I understand this more every single day with the actions my family commit.

I've never been the type to get on the wrong side of the law until the day I did. I was given two options, to either go to jail for a very long time or become an agent for the CIA. I'm unlike any other agent, though. Most of my colleagues don't have families like I do. You see, I'm Romanian and the purest of blood flows through my veins.

They become the monster starring in our nightmares, a temptress of hell reminding us what it feels like to burn. Shadows are the demons that tear our souls apart. They never let go, and they never allow us to forget.
