When her father is shot dead on the cobblestone streets of 1910 Albania, eighteen-year-old Eleanora must abandon her dream of studying art in Italy as she struggles to survive in a remote mountain village with her stepmother, Meria. Nearing starvation, Meria secretly sells Eleanora into marriage with the cruel heir of a powerful clan. Intent on keeping her freedom, Eleanora takes an oath to remain a virgin for the rest of her life?a tradition that gives her the right to live as a man: she is now head of her household and can work for a living as well as carry a gun.

When an injured stranger stumbles into her life, Eleanora nurses him back to health, saving his life but risking her own as she falls in love with him . . .
