In 1994, Marko Novak's world is torn apart by the death of his best friend - Kemal Lekic; a soldier in the Bosnian war. After the funeral, Marko flees to England, hoping to put his broken homeland behind him. In 2004, human rights researcher Anya Teal is following a tenuous lead in the hunt for a Bosnian man with blood on his hands. What no-one can know is that a disaster as destructive as war is approaching... a disaster that will connect the fates of Marko and Anya across the years and continents.
