They say she is a young woman with black hair and a dress that glitters with stars, and that she waits by the side of the road with a suitcase at her feet or in hand. She doesn’t wave, she rarely moves, but she is looking for something or someone.

Andre guesses his brother has been drinking too much fauxdka, but she is far more than a figment of Volkov’s drunken imagination. And she’s not alone…
