An unforgettable debut novel about love and freedom.
Sixteen year-old westerner Frenenqer Paje’s life in the Middle East is a series of cages, but Frenenqer’s life changes forever when she rescues a dying cat from the marketplace. The cat is actually a boy named Sangris, and the two embark on many nighttime adventures. But when their friendship blossoms into something more, Frenenqer must face her greatest fear—her father—or risk losing Sangris forever.
