Dans un futur dystopique où de nombreux plaisirs et ressources de base sont interdits, une jeune fille de seize ans se retrouve au centre du crime et des soupçons. Fille d'un célèbre parrain de la pègre, elle doit faire face à son propre héritage tout en essayant de découvrir la vérité derrière un empoisonnement. Cette série palpitante suit son parcours semé de dangers, de loyauté et de choix difficiles, la forçant à choisir entre le sombre passé de sa famille et son propre avenir.
In a dystopian future where chocolate and caffeine are contraband, teenage cellphone use is illegal, and water and paper are carefully rationed, sixteen-year-old Anya Balanchine finds herself thrust unwillingly into the spotlight as heir apparent to an important New York City crime family.
Reluctant heir of a Mafia boss. Star-crossed lover. Paparazzi darling. Hitman’s target. Anya Balanchine’s amazing story continues in the second part of the Birthright trilogy. Freed from jail, Anya hopes that things will get back to normal. But life on the outside is even more dangerous than life behind bars. Some of her gangland family want revenge for the crime for which she has done time: the shooting of her uncle. Forced to flee the country, Anya hides out in a cacao plantation in Mexico. There she learns the secrets of the chocolate trade, a trade that is illegal and deadly in her native New York. There too she discovers that seemingly random acts of violence carried out across the world have a single target: her family. As innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire Anya must act fast and decisively to stop it, no matter what the danger to herself.
