Chapter / GETTING READY
Call me Sebastian.
In Montenegro, I became Sebastian.
The name was bestowed upon me by Simeona’s father, Father Radan—a seven-foot-tall Orthodox priest with a Santa Claus beard, ponytail, flowing robes and the sort of presence that makes a room reconsider its posture.
“You’re not an Eric. You’re… Sebastian!”

Chapter / AFTER DARK
The night had other plans.
Then, last night, my phone rang.
“Hello, Sebastian.”
Father Radan.
