Publisher Description
A thriller unlike any you have ever read. A love strong enough to bring a tremor to your bones. A sacrifice powerful enough to make heaven weep.
At the close of World War II, a shell-shocked solider, Jan Jovic, was forced to inflict a game of life and death on a peaceful Bosnian community. In a few short hours, this young man was confronted by more love—and hate—than most experience in a lifetime.
Years later, Jan has become a world-renowned writer with widespread influence in the United States, his past buried deep in his memory. Until, at the most inopportune time, the game Jan witnessed comes back to haunt him . . . and unwittingly leads him to a beautiful broken woman caught in an underworld of crime.
Jan must now defeat an evil rarely seen. But there is a price. One that even this war-scarred solider can’t imagine.

"I have found I have to read Dekker's books slowly. I loved this book. He takes me on such an emotional journey. It is especially true for this one. First book that has clearly expressed what the Lord has been teaching me about love. A must read. I loved Martyr's Song...love this one even more."

— Rachel, 4/2/2012 -
" This is my favorite in this series! I love how this God teaches him his plans His plans are beyond anything we try to do. I also love how Ted conveys Gods love for the least of us through this love for a less than reputable woman and a flawed man! "
