She wants revenge. He wants revolution. Together, they will alter the course of a nation.

CIA analyst Elora Monro is devastated. Her Delta Force fiancé was just killed during a failed raid on a New Dawn Underground terrorist compound in northern Iraq. Now, Elora is hellbent on tracking down the mastermind behind the Islamic militant group responsible for her fiancé's death.

Posing as a Washington Post correspondent, Elora travels to the Middle East and embeds with the New Dawn Underground militants under the guise of helping the group tell their side of the story to Western media. 

Driven by vengeance, Elora strives to gain enough intel while on the inside to destroy New Dawn from the inside out. Prepared to sacrifice her life to accomplish her mission, Elora is wholly unprepared for the enigmatic Zaidan Al-Sadiq, right-hand man to the militant group's newly appointed leader.

Elora quickly realizes Zaidan is far from a Jihadi extremist. Highly intelligent and intensely brooding, Zaidan helps open Elora's eyes to the complexity of what's going on beneath the surface of Iraq's multi-dimensional political landscape, where things are rarely what they appear.

Elora soon realizes nothing in Iraq is ever black or white and finds herself ensnared in a twisted net of passion, violence, and political fallout. She thinks she's got it all figured out, when her world is once again flipped upside down.

Will she listen to what may be the voice of reason in her head, or will she risk everything to follow her heart?
