Trapped together in the hidden valley of Injanae-deep in the Peruvian Andes-Ryder Garrison, and Hadlee MacLean are forced to confront the lingering wounds of a shared tragedy from their past. Both must face new truths about that life-altering day before they can find the healing of repentance, and the change of heart forgiveness brings. Even then, they must accept consequences that nothing can alter, look beyond them, and learn to trust one another. Only trust will enable them to survive, and escape the ruthless plans of King Ateron, who plots to use them in his power struggle against Darvoe, the pagan high priest of Ansuetra-Goddess of the Moon.
