*Set in 1916 during World War I*


Two soldiers from opposing sides in the Great War fall in love after multiple chance encounters.

Francis Albert Atwood, a young man always overshadowed by his older brother William, enlisted in the military to fight for his country. He thought it wouldn't be too bad, but it turned out to be hell. 

Ahmet is from a small village near the coast of the Black Sea. He enlisted because he too, loved his country. The girl of his dreams just out of reach and his brother lost in the war, he constantly fights to win and protect those he cares about.

Two enemies, two opposing goals. Will they flourish, or will they both have a tragic end?

This originally was just a joke-ish thing between my friend in history class that then became something real. I'm not an expert at war history and I did my best to research things about WWI, but if I get something wrong, don't be shocked.
