In the midst of World War 1, when heartache and helplessness are plentiful, most families couldn't help but to buckle under the pressure of their obligations... Obligations to serve their country, blindly or unwillingly.
The Abrins are no different. With his family torn to pieces before his boys even have their first whiff of the powder found on the front-lines, Mr Abrin will do anything in his power to keep his boys just like the oak beams he taught them to work- Strong, decisively out-of-line, and with just enough of their own grain to barely creak under a hammer.

Anzalya Iosifovna Aistova grew up in its shadow, in the quiet weight of her father's silence, in the haunted look that never quite left his eyes. By fifteen, she understood what most never would-the way war didn't just break men on the battlefield, but long after they'd come home. She swore she would heal, not harm. That was the promise she made when she signed up for the Nurse Corps. But war had other plans.

She learned to fight as well as she could heal, because out there, under fire, sometimes saving a life meant taking another. And she was a good shot. A damn good shot.
