In the final days of a brutal war, Historia Reiss, a young woman from a quiet border town, discovers a gravely wounded enemy soldier: General Eren Jeager, the feared Jaegerist commander responsible for countless losses on her side.

She should leave him to die but something in his haunted defiance compels her to save him. And as she and her mother secretly tend to his wounds after she brought him to her home, an uneasy bond begins to grow.

What starts as mercy turns into dangerous trust, connection and forbidden affection but with the war still raging, neither can stay hidden from its shadow for long.
