Deep within unearthly caverns veiling an ancient hell, two hapless souls, bred by two different worlds found in the other a compassion and mutual understanding rivalling that of their own and, as an infrangible bond was destined to be forged, they came to learn that love transcends all.
Elizabeth 'Liz' Summers future prospect was double shifts just to pay her student mortgage, so when she was offered a paid position at the Iraqi Survey Group (ISG) to assist in locating and neutralizing weapons of mass destructions (WMDs) she was soon to accept, despite her apprehension. Little did she know, the ongoing conflict and the alleged WMDs would soon prove to be the least of her worries, or that she would fall in love when she had expected it the least.
