First UK edition hardback (first printing). Dustjacket still shows price. Comes complete with the publisher’s publicity handout. “There is no such place as Krassnia. Lucy Stone should know … she was born there. In that tiny, troubled region of the former Soviet Union, revolution is brewing. Its organisers need a safe place to meet and where better than the virtual spaces of an online game? Lucy, who works for a start-up games company in Edinburgh has a project that almost seems made for the job. Its original inspiration came from the Krassniad : an epic tale, based on Krassnian folklore, concocted by Lucy’s mother Amanda who studied there in the 1980’s. Lucy knows Amanda is a spook. She knows her great-grandmother – English upper-class wild child Eugenie – also visited the country in the 1930’s. As Lucy digs up details about her birthplace to slot into the game, she unearths the buried secrets of her family’s past – and the darker secrets of Krassnia’s.” IN STOCK FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH
