The Price of My War

Comander, Aurelia Adriana Bonifacio is more than a soldier, she's the Mistress of the Battlefield. Every war she enters, she walks out untouched, unbreakable. Wolf, they call her.

Sharp-minded, stunningly composed, and dangerously strategic, she's infamous for leading with misdirection and elegance, confusing enemies, outsmarting generals, and unnerving even her own allies. Trained under the shadow of her father, the Commander-in-Chief, Aurelia has risen not through privilege, but through sheer brilliance.

She is a cunning soldier, every war hate, yet need.

But when a rising international conflict threatens to pull the nation into chaos, Aurelia asks to be deployed. Her father refuses, questioning her readiness, and instead assigns her to the last place she wants to be: training a new batch of cadets.

Among them is Elian Alon Magsino, clumsy, curious, and painfully earnest. He salutes the wrong officers, stumbles during drills, and somehow manages to catch Aurelia's attention, and irritation - again and again.

As tensions outside escalate, and the line between personal duty and political loyalty blurs, Aurelia must navigate not only the war beyond the base, but the quiet storm growing in her mind.

Because sometimes, the real battle isn't on the battlefield... it's what you're willing to fight for when no one believes in you - and what it costs to win.
