"A girl in a soft shawl, with a life half-built from plans that never quite work out.
Her world is big and small at once.
A city life full of coffee cups, nightly parties, and unfinished work.
She walks as if she belongs nowhere else but Hamburg, quick, distracted, but still entirely human. It is safe and predictable — and yet fragile in ways she doesn’t yet understand.
She still laughs like heartbreak is the worst thing that can happen to a girl.
But she doesn’t yet know what it means to be chosen by a spirit.
Call her Smilla, and she will answer to that human name.
But someone older has already chosen her as prey.
And when the game begins, she will run … but never flee."
