Years ago, the Gypsy "Kumpania" where Janeal Mikkado lived was attacked. With her best friend about to be consumed by a fire, Janeal had two options: try to save her friend or disappear with the million dollars that she had just discovered. The past is quickly coming back to haunt her.

She escaped the fire--but not the effects of the burn.

Janeal has long felt trapped in her father's Gypsy culture. Then one night a powerful man named Salazar Sanso promises her the life she longs for--if she will help recover a vast sum of money tied to her father.

When the plan implodes, Sanso and his men attack the gypsy settlement and burn it to the ground. During the blaze, Janeal is faced with a staggering choice.

The impact of that moment changes her forever.

As her past rises from the ashes, Janeal faces a new life-or-death choice. And this time, escape is not an option.
