Retired agent David Hill lives a quiet life in a remote wilderness community. His neighbours don't know him. His name is a lie and even his face is not his own. With enemies like his it's safer that way.

Then one night an injured alien woman crashes into his life needing his help. She's beautiful and innocent and above all else, in need. What's a man to do?

But she also poses a conflict for him. Because he knows what his old bosses will do to Cyrea if they catch her. What they will do to her people. And to his neighbours who've been hiding the Leinians for years. He must choose between his duty and his conscience. To expose her to them is to place them all in deadly peril. To keep the secret is to betray everything he has believed in his whole life.

But a greater danger stalks them all. David's most dangerous enemy is hunting him. The Leinians have their own enemy though they don't know it. And when the two of them get together it just may be the end of the world.
