In a land shattered by endless wars and silent prayers, two souls ignite a love that should never have existed.
Leyla, raised in the tight embrace of tradition and whispered obedience, dares to walk among the ruins with nothing but bread, bandages, and a stubborn flame in her chest.
Eitan, a soldier hollowed by violence, steps into her broken world carrying the weight of lost friends and broken promises.
Their meeting is not fate-it is rebellion.
A glance across crumbling walls. A cookie offered like a fragile piece of peace. A brush of hands, innocent yet electrifying. In a heartbeat, war, religion, and hatred fall away, leaving only something terrifyingly beautiful: the undeniable spark of love.
But love, in this land, is a crime.
When gunfire tears them apart and rumor sharpens into knives, Leyla and Eitan must choose between survival and the dangerous pull that binds them. In a night of flickering candles and whispered promises-without even a kiss-they forge a bond stronger than any oath.
Separated by duty and fear, their souls cling with a fierceness that defies flags, bloodlines, and ancient wounds.
When Leyla vanishes behind locked doors and bruised silence, Eitan knows life without her is no life at all.
With only a crumpled map, a wounded heart, and the memory of her trembling hand in his, he steps into the merciless desert. Fevered, hunted, half-dead-he marches forward, whispering:
"Hold on, Leyla... I'm coming."
The Echo of Your Prayers in My Trench by Alejandro Bello Diéguez is a love story as fragile and fierce as life itself.
A story of two hearts who refused to surrender.
A story that asks: Can love truly survive when the world is built to destroy it?
You will breathe with them.
You will ache with them.
And you will never forget the fire that was born between a soldier and a girl who dared to hope-where hope should have been impossible.

"You think you want me, but I don't think you could handle what I would do to you." His stare is relentless.
I smooth my hands down over my nightdress, feeling his words glide across my skin. "I could..."
"I'm not sure I would be the kind, gentle lover your sweet Caspian would be," he warns quietly.
