You love books? You cry over fictional characters and wish they were real? Don't you wish you could visit the world of your favourite novel? Yes? You will definitely love this book!

In a world where power is blood-soaked and loyalty is the deadliest gamble, two souls-shaped by silence, betrayal, and the whisper of something divine-are destined to collide. Elira, the girl who grew up too fast in the shadows of graves and gunfire, learned to wear elegance like armor and hide her prayers in the folds of her silence. Seven years ago, she met a man who watched the world like it owed him something. He left nothing behind-except a memory that refused to fade. Aleksei Volkov, heir to a dynasty of violence, wears danger like a tailored suit. At twenty-one, he had already seen enough death to forget how to live. But there was something in the eyes of that mourning girl-a quiet rebellion, a strange purity he couldn't unsee. Now, years later, she's not a child. And he's not a myth. But fate has a habit of circling back where unfinished souls reside. As secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and hearts burn in silence, Elira and Aleksei find themselves at war-with their pasts, with their enemies, and with the fragile line between destruction and desire. But beneath the chaos, something deeper stirs. A quiet faith. A desperate hope. A question neither of them dares ask aloud- Can broken people still be chosen by heaven? A story of ice and fire, shadows and light, and two known.
