Samir and Sara have nowhere to run. They've tried to run from the 'Butcher of Baghdad' only to get caught by the authorities in Turkey, turned in by the people they'd paid money to smuggle them across the border into Europe. Returned to Iraq they arrive in the Kurdish controlled north, to a wild and lawless place where the gun rules and ethnic Christians are tolerated, but not trusted. Samir and Sara can both trace their ancestry back to the great Babylonian Empire, Iraq was once theirs, but now they're foreigners in their own land and have to live by their wits just to survive. The dream of a fresh start in a new land may be dead, but when you live by your wits sometimes things can happen, and they've met up with people working for an organization called Operation Mercy who don't just talk about faith, they live it to the extreme with surprising results. A fast-paced tense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very last page.
