The tiniest of things can ruin even the best of plans.

Musician George Tavlakis and his Rovani partner and slave, Yeraki, are getting ready to launch a summer concert tour of Europe. George’s wife, Elefteria, called Ellie by everyone who knows her, is also going out of town—on an archeolog-ical dig in Egypt. Home life is not as peaceful as George could have wished, particularly given the recent friction be-tween Ellie and Yeri.

Two tiny mistakes compound into a life-threatening emergency that could ruin not only their plans for summer but also all their plans for the future.
