Edelweiss wished for war in order to escape her violent husband's grasp... Then it happened.

She had not anticipated the anguish and suffering that this war would bring. It wreaked havoc on her life, causing her to rethink everything she had hoped for.

On the edge of losing her mind as a result of the insurgents' brutality, Edelweiss found an unlikely ally. He was a man she had never expected to be her lifeline.


At the age of twenty-eight, Roscoe was an experienced soldier sent to a faraway country to assist in putting an end to a rebel-led conflict. 

War is not new to him; he's traveled to various other countries fighting for causes that even he didn't understand.

He promised himself that this would be the last time and that he would retire after this assignment until he saw her.

He found himself as this estranged woman's lone link to the world of the living.
