An empty mind is a safe mind. Yulia's father always taught her to hide her thoughts and control her emotions to survive the harsh realities of Soviet Russia. But when she's captured by the KGB and forced to work as a psychic spy with a mission to undermine the U.S. space program, she's thrust into a world of suspicion, deceit, and horrifying power. Yulia quickly realizes she can trust no one―not her KGB superiors or the other operatives vying for her attention―and must rely on her own wits and skills to survive in this world where no SEKRET can stay hidden for long. “Smith's debut novel not only captivates through its fearsomely stubborn main character but also through its intriguing setting. . . . The book's tension, coupled with a burgeoning romance and the revelation of some astounding secrets, will keep teen readers on the edge of their seats and primed for more.” ― VOYA Lindsay Smith is the author of Cold War era espionage novels Sekret and Skandal , fantasy novel Dreamstrider , and Japanese time travel novel A Darkly Beating Heart .
