Layla Nikitonova was never anyone's daughter. Just the daughter of absence. Her father, an inaccessible Russian general. Her mother, gone forever. So she travels. Languages, cities, faces, she learned everything, except how to love herself.
At 22, she joined the Russian army. Not out of duty. Out of a need to exist somewhere.
Her assignment? An unofficial base lost in Haute-Savoie. A military exile she accepted without flinching. What she doesn't know yet is that this unnamed post will change her entire trajectory.
