About the Book

London, 1987. A city layered in fog and buried secrets.

When an ordinary young woman from the edge of empire is swept into the covert machinery of Cold War intelligence, she has no name she can trust — not even her own. Trained, shaped, and handed an identity she did not choose, she must survive long enough to understand what is being made of her.

Volume One: The Making traces the first seventy-two hours of a decades-long career — the handoff, the city, the first unravelling. A story of survival, deception, and betrayal set against the fog and stone of 1987 London.

Literary spy fiction. Elegant prose. Volume One is free to read.

Before Names

The woman we met in Chapter One did not begin there. This is the city she left, the name she carried, and the first moment someone decided she could become something else entirely. Before Sophia, before the fog — there was a girl from Gujarat with a different kind of future ahead of her.
