Synopsis

Marcus Brenner nearly died at the hands of a Constabulary agent bent on revenge. He survived because three people took him in: a rogue agent, a teenage fugitive and Lee Vaughn, the woman he has loved for ten years.

All four now live as refugees in a newly founded nation that promises freedom to every citizen, former resistance fighters included. Marcus wants peace and privacy, and he works to secure a home for himself and Lee.

Lee puts her nursing and cooking skills to use for people in need. Her own struggle is quieter: she has recently come to faith and doubts that she can truly belong in the church.

Their fragile calm breaks when word arrives that the Constabulary has sent agents into the country undercover. The nation's laws do not matter to them, and they have no intention of giving up the offenders they want most. Marcus is on their list, but he is not the only one.
