Publisher's Synopsis
In the aftermath of tragedy and scandal, Sabin FitzSimon leaves England for the Holy Land in search of a new beginning. In the heat and dust of Northern Syria, he must either face himself, or be vanquished. Annais is a quiet, convent-raised young woman when she accompanies her father to their new life in the Holy Land. Her encounters with Sabin leave her bewildered, desirous, and more than a little hostile.
