In the Concord War, soldiers aren't trained-they're engineered.
Kier was never meant to live long enough to question it. Built for precision, control, and obedience, his purpose is simple: complete the mission, no matter the cost.
When he's brought in injured, he expects to be patched up and sent back. Nothing more.
Seren knows exactly what he is. A warborn operative. A weapon. A death sentence waiting to happen.
She also knows better than to get involved.
But some boundaries don't break all at once. They unravel slowly-through stolen glances, quiet moments, and the dangerous kind of understanding that shouldn't exist between them.
Because the closer Seren gets, the more she realizes: Kier isn't just built for war. He's running out of time.
And saving him might mean defying everything she was trained to protect.
In a war where lives are designed to end, choosing to care is the most dangerous act of all.
