In een dystopische toekomst waarin veel basispleziertjes en -bronnen verboden zijn, bevindt een zestienjarig meisje zich in het centrum van misdaad en verdenking. Als dochter van een beruchte misdaadbaas moet ze haar eigen nalatenschap onder ogen zien terwijl ze probeert de waarheid achter een vergiftiging te achterhalen. Deze spannende serie volgt haar reis vol gevaar, loyaliteit en moeilijke keuzes, waardoor ze moet kiezen tussen het duistere verleden van haar familie en haar eigen toekomst.
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.
