Lily

Zedekiah Engleton has fled after being betrayed and wrongly accused of a crime. His only hope of clearing his name rests with a close friend who holds a powerful position, though that process will take time.

While he waits, he finds shelter in Perge, a community where residents tend to overlook the wrongdoing of those around them. He lodges with a withdrawn woman who lives there. Zedekiah is a man of remarkable skill, but he has little experience with a stubborn, strong-willed woman or with the simple, unguarded ways of a child.

Through the love of a child, his heart begins to soften. When Lily is taken, Zedekiah and the woman he stays with must set their conflict aside and search for her before time runs out.
