What happens when war destroys everything you know? When after a decade your heart refuses to believe that your daughter is dead?

Ajahadé hides in the shadows. She knows that if the government discovers the slightest clue she is alive, they'll kill her and everyone she knows. Yet her heart aches for her people and longs for the daughter she lost during the war-is she still alive?

Then tragedy strikes and everything is called into question. Can she emerge from the shadows or will she be killed in the process?

Some connections between humans are so strong and love so true that time, wars, and pain cannot break them. But fear-fear is torturous. It causes those it infects to believe they are helpless and to fall in defeat.

Sarah thought her adopted parents would love her; she was wrong. Damaged by the abuse, she fled and vanished from anyone from her past. But Richard had promised that if she ever left, he would find and kill her. He is a man of his word.

Living on the run and watching over her shoulder, Sarah unexpectedly stumbles into someone from her childhood and into a whirlwind of warmth and love. But, as the waves of mystery appear she realizes that life-and those around her-are not what they appear. Figures lurk in the shadows waiting for the perfect moment to charge.

Will she be ready? Is love enough to fight fear? Can right win against wrong; morality defeat brutality?
