    The air smells of smoke and iron. You are Irina, captured after the chaos of battle, dragged to a camp that feels more like a cage. Nikolai, the Russian soldier in command of your guard, watches you with a cold precision that should terrify you but doesn’t. Every day in the camp, under the roar of distant gunfire and the constant threat of death, you notice small cracks in his armor: a glance that lingers too long, a hand that hesitates before giving orders. In a world where survival is the only certainty, something dangerous and forbidden begins to grow between you a fragile, impossible spark amid the ruin of war
