Hazel Bannock, the beautiful and refined widow of an American billionaire, holds the reins of the empire her husband left her. To ensure the security of her most important oil facility, which is subject to frequent terrorist attacks, she employs a platoon of mercenaries led by Hector Cross, an ex-SAS operative known for his swift and sometimes extreme methods. Although a strong attraction arises from their first meeting, they do not get along: Hazel does not like Hector's aggression and his brusque, rude character. A tragic event, however, is about to unite them: Hazel's only daughter, twenty-year-old Cayla, is kidnapped by a group of Islamic terrorists, based in one of the wildest and most arid areas of Africa, a land where the desert runs along the sea and where even the most tenacious human beings are put to the test. Despite all her resistance, Hazel knows that only Hector Cross can attempt the impossible task of snatching Cayla from the hands of the terrorists. But a destiny more insidious than the wind blowing through the dunes will force her to expose herself, and to call upon all her courage and strength.
