Mari commits herself to resist him, but that's not so easy when you're stuck together on the campus of a tiny and remote liberal arts college. Eventually she begins to realize that maybe he isn't who he seems, and that perhaps neither is she.

From a college campus in northern Minnesota to the sands of ancient Egypt, Carnelian begins an adventure, and a romance, that will cross the span of time and space.
