Jena, meaning "Little Bird" in Farsi, is an Iranian-American teenager who struggles with her heritage. In celebration of her sixteenth birthday, her father takes Jen to visit relatives in Tehran, hoping she will connect with the culture and traditions he values. Shortly after arriving, Jen is kidnapped from a crowded bazaar, and sold into modern-day slavery. Despite her attempts to hide it, her western birth is discovered, and she is recruited into a secret research project to develop a breakthrough vaccine. Jen believes it is a miracle when she is whisked away to a private hospital in ISIS controlled Iraq, and she willingly gives her blood to an eccentric young doctor impassioned by his work.Two years after her capture, Jen is unwittingly presented to the world as Jenna, Islam's Holy Virgin, the Queen of Suicide Bombers. To her horror, Jen discovers that the vaccine was a lie. Instead, she was used to create the world's deadliest pathogen. Jenna, meaning Paradise, carries the deadly pathogen inside of her. She is a biological weapon meant to bring destruction to all non-believers. Jen escapes and runs for her life, finding help and a limited amount of understanding, from a Special Forces soldier called Deep South and a Marine named Lynch. With their help, Jen tries desperately to stay ahead of the Jihadists trying to capture her, and the government agencies trying to kill her.
