Two young people from warring religious factions meet in a tense encounter that explodes in violence and ends in them joining forces to make an arduous journey across the land. Both loyal to a fault, the born enemies become tentative friends as they face grief and betrayal, and the foundations of their religious identities crumble around them. Eventually, their devotion turns toward each other in a beautiful, tragic love story that remains in bloom long after the final page. A crying book for sure.
