When Steve Hanna boards a plane for Madrid on what is supposed to be a normal study abroad trip, he has no idea where it is about to take him. From the first person he meets on the flight over to the last person he encounters in a small town pharmacy, a series of seemingly unconnected events ends up leading him to the doorstep of his long-lost ancestors. But as Steve learns more about his ancestors and a pact they made over a century ago, he discovers far more than he bargained for—a story of surrender that will change his life forever.
