A former siege commander with more curses on his head than a camel has fleas, and a conscience heavier than a bricklayer's tray, Dahoud will do anything to atone for his atrocities. Under a new humble identity, he builds a life of peace.

Thrust back into the turmoil and temptations of war, driven by demonic desires, how can Dahoud shield the women he loves from the evil inside him?
