In 2083, chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is hard to
find, water is carefully rationed, and New York City is rife
with crime and poverty. And yet, for Anya Balanchine, the
sixteen-year-old daughter of the city's most notorious (and
dead) crime boss, life is fairly routine. It consists of
going to school, taking care of her siblings and her dying
grandmother, trying to avoid falling in love with the new
assistant D.A.'s son, and avoiding her loser ex-boyfriend.
That is until her ex is accidently poisoned by the chocolate
her family manufactures and the police think she's to blame.
Suddenly, Anya finds herself thrust unwillingly into the
spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly,
within her mafia family.
