When the war is lost, what else is worth winning? Lt. Francis Ransome is newly promoted and completely miserable. After a year and a half of fighting in Russia's revolutionary fallout, his regiment is retreating across the bitter Siberian wilderness, the war lost. Home has never been so close and yet so far, and any breath could be their last. When they stumble upon the remains of a Czech evacuation, they offer what help they can, but out here, it's every man for himself. Francis is instantly drawn to Sasha Jandá¿ek, a handsome but withdrawn young soldier. The attraction is mutual-and enthralling-but it could spell the end for them both. Despite their best efforts, hesitance grows into friendship, and friendship blossoms into something else. Together, they struggle to conceal both feelings and fear in a world that won't accept either. As war stalks their footsteps and relentless winter gnaws on their morale, the journey home becomes a fight for survival. Francis and Sasha face the threat of discovery, death, and one burning question: even if they make it home, what future can they possibly have together?
