Lucy är en ung kvinna som arbetar för en spelutvecklare i Edinburgh. Hon sugs in i en bizarr konspiration om östeuropeisk politik, familjehistoria, smuggling och CIA. Färgstarka personligheter och dubbla meningar i en underhållande berättelse som ger föda för tanken och ett slut som lockar till omläsning av inledningen.
There is no such place as Krassnia. Lucy Stone should know - she was born there. In that tiny, troubled region of the former Soviet Union, revolution is brewing. Its organisers need a safe place to meet, and where better than the virtual spaces of an online game? Lucy, who works for a start-up games company in Edinburgh, has a project that almost seems made for the job: a game inspired by The Krassniad, an epic folk tale concocted by Lucy's mother Amanda, who studied there in the 1980s. Lucy knows Amanda is a spook. She knows her great-grandmother Eugenie also visited the country in the '30s, and met the man who originally collected Krassnian folklore, and who perished in Stalin's terror. As Lucy digs up details about her birthplace to slot into the game, she finds the open secrets of her family's past, the darker secrets of Krassnia's past - and hints about the crucial role she is destined to play in The Restoration Game...
