Fire and Wind is a chronicle of two brothers - one Christian and the other Muslim - in conflict and tackling the challenges of civilizations teetering on the brink of war.

While vacationing, a Kos assassin attacks Conor and Tali, but they escape.
The story shifts to the USA, where Jake Moynihan (Conor's half-brother) and girlfriend, Lindy Bedrosian, are training with the enigmatic Vartan Defense...
