When danger strikes and enemies circle, Mariam and Sergei are forced to confront the truth neither of them is ready to face. In a world where loyalty is everything and betrayal is deadly, trust is the only thing that can save them. But trust has never come easy for them. And in the end, it just might destroy them both.
