Ana Mouradian didn't truly grasp this concept until an attack on her village tore her away from her small-town life, resulting in a loss so great, it leaves her changed forever. Forced to become accustomed to a life on the run, she soon learns more about herself and her past than she could ever bear to live with.As for Andre Abrahamian, he knows exactly how much sacrifice it takes to stay alive in a world that wants to kill him; he would be dead if he didn't. In hiding with his large family and safe for the time being, he now struggles to cope with the payment that he is forced to make every day, even now that the threat of death is long gone. When they unexpectedly meet in a cave etched into the side of a mountain, Ana and Andre are fighting for more than just their lives. Both scapegoats of conflicts larger than man, they are drawn to each other, and soon discover that together, they have the potential to live a life free from debt. To achieve this, however, they must be willing to hand over to one another the last part of their lives that belong to themselves.
