Part 1 of 3 books in the series.

Sheeva Jules is searching for Llyud Halma, a sadistic murderer who has continually given her the slip more times than she cares to admit. Determined, she winds up in the city of Roussell where she meets new allies and friends to aid her. Tazaro Chorea, a creative woodworker with a penchant for wacky inventions, is the first in her new group of friends, though it is Tazaro's mother who gives Sheeva comfort and solace long-forgotten. When she is taken, Sheeva further begins to unravel the mystery surrounding the elusive, nefarious Llyud--and of the man behind the scenes. With the conspiracy and the looming threat they can't ignore, Sheeva and Tazaro must learn to forgive, trust, and lean on one another as they maneuver the minefield of traps and nasty schemes left behind in their target's wake.
