❝I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.❞

(Y/N) will never tell the truth.

When she was a young and innocent girl living in a poor town in Russia, (Y/N) never considered the possibility of the largest and deadliest World War breaking out during her lifetime. She was too focused on feeding her struggling family to tease the thought. But before she knew it, World War III had started before her eyes, leaving her with nothing but a thirst for revenge.

Joining the American Army with Alexander, the only person she has left, they formulate a plan to rise in the ranks and complete their self-tasked mission. Their only wish is to end the war on their own terms, and their eyes are set on the leaders of the world. But things become complicated when (Y/N) runs into her most challenging obstacle yet: John Laurens.

The man, intriguing and familiar, distracts (Y/N) in ways she didn't think possible. He seems to have as many secrets as she does, regret glistening dimly in his hazel eyes. Have they met before?

The worst part of it all is that John Laurens becomes a part of (Y/N)'s plan... and he has no idea. (Y/N) hates John Laurens. She hates his bright smiles. His contagious laughter. His charming personality. Most of all, she hates the fact that he's making her question if there is a beautiful love to be found in a hateful war. And if there is love, how much is she willing to give up for it? Everything, or nothing at all?

A Russian woman who lies, a Southern man filled with guilt, and love too passionate to ignore.
