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.

The Four
There used to be a time where the world feared Locatlie. This time was merely decades ago. They thought that the Locatlie family was untouchable, they couldn't come near anyone anymore after the War of hearts. But the people that lived through the War of Hearts got soft, they either died or forgot it happened in the first place. Their children got children and those children forgot whom they were dealing with. Nobody thought that anybody could compete with Queen Julia. The queen whom brought down nations. Until I came along. You think Julia had it rough? Pfft. Her life was a fucking cake walk compared to mine- but lets not get ahead of the story. Julia might be the queen that brought down the nations, but I was the one that made them beg for mercy while burned them all to the ground. Important information: You can read this story without reading the Locatlie series, but it will spoil the Locatlie series for you. If you like books that close off chapters and you like reading long stories, read the Locatlie series first. :) Warning: This story contains physical abuse, mental abuse and sexual abuse.Complete

- 𝐖𝐀𝐑 had been a ghost in her home long before she ever set foot on the battlefield. 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. Somewhere between the shifting tides of duty and desperation, she found herself not in the sterile safety of a field hospital but in the chaos of the front lines. The 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment-Easy Company. A medic, yes, but something else, too. A soldier in disguise. 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. War had taken so much from her already. What more could it ask for? She was about to find out. 𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦!
