Some stories begin with love.
This one begins with war.
Eve Hale never cared about politics, borders, or power. She cared about quiet mornings with her camera, about the freedom of the open sky, and about a boy who promised he would come back.
But war does not keep promises.
When her country collapses into chaos overnight, Eve is forced into a world she never imagined—one where cities burn, truth becomes dangerous, and survival often means losing pieces of yourself.
Far from home and surrounded by enemies, Eve must navigate a land filled with soldiers, secrets, and shattered lives. Along the way she meets unlikely allies: a soldier who begins to question the war he fights, a boy who refuses to lose faith in God, and strangers who remind her that humanity can survive even in the darkest places.
But as the truth behind the war slowly emerges, Eve begins to realize that survival alone is not enough.
Because sometimes God’s favourites are not the ones who are protected.
They are the ones who are tested.
And in a world torn apart by war, only one question truly matters:
When everything is taken from you… who do you choose to become?
