She is a child of no one. Living a tenuous existence in a dangerous world with no future and no way out. Armed only with her principles, her courage and her compassion for everyone who is struggling to survive on the mean streets of the city. A chance meeting with a stranger in the park opens a door to a different life. A great gift awaits her, but one that is fraught with danger. It is a priceless object of enormous beauty that has led to the death of nearly everyone who has ever desired to possess it. A stark choice lies before her. To walk away from what may be her only chance of escape, or to risk it all for the promise of a better future. A decision that could take her life, and put her in peril of her soul.
