Actually, a concrete noun doesn't work here: "to desert" (to abandon) is a verb, but when you turn it into a noun, "desertion," it becomes an abstract noun. The reason is this-- a concrete noun is a word that can be experienced directly with one or more of the five senses (sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing). For example, "book" is a concrete noun-- you can see it, touch it, etc. "Baby" is another concrete noun, for the same reason. But you cannot touch or taste or smell or see or hear desertion. You can experience the results of being deserted, but it's an emotion, rather than a specific concrete thing.
