Anna’s Shadow is set in the terrorism-haunted North America of 2007, in Siberia, and in the chaotic gloom and unexpected beauties of early ’90s Moscow. It is a story of politics, science, and the uncertain border between love and desperation. Soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a young diplomat named Adrian Wells encounters Anna Mikataev, a particle physicist. Anna has discovered how to carve light to manipulate the paths of one of the building blocks of reality: the photon. In the small basement room where Anna Mikataev lives, the force fields of sub-atomic particles, individual lives, and the politics of terror all meet.
