San Dorma is a country carved from smoke and sorrow — where militias roam freely, the government hunts its own people, and survival is a daily negotiation with fate.

Into this fractured nation arrive Noah Jansen and Adriana Visser — two Dutch journalists with cameras, cover stories, and a mission that has nothing to do with the truth. Aethelgard sent them. Aethelgard always sends someone.

What they don't expect is Elisa.

A woman with steady hands and trembling eyes. A mother fighting for her child. A reluctant assassin owned by the militia.

What unravels over the weeks that follow — slowly, then all at once — is everything they thought they were sure of. About the war. About each other. About themselves.

Some of what they find is dangerous. Some of it is devastating.

Some of it feels, against all logic, like the first honest thing in years.

Where Duty Ends — where loyalty has limits, desire doesn't ask permission, and the truth has a way of arriving at the worst possible moment.
