Seventeen year old Talia is struggling to earn a living as a seamstress, surviving in the infamous refugee Camps of war torn Arista. When her soldier boyfriend, Kellar, suggests a bizarre route of escape - stowing away on the cross-desert frieght train to Leonore, Talia jumps at the chance.

In Leonore she can marry Kellar - leaving the war behind.

But a freak accident leaves her stranded and alone in the desert. Caught between the two countries, and forced to face her troubled past, Talia is forced to choose between love and revenge, whilst playing the ultimate game of survival.

Comforted by The Guardian, and haunted by The Ghost, Talia begins a journey that will change her life forever.
