Will the war ever end?It’s been five years since it began, but to Teddy, it might as well be forever. The war of the Republic, being part of the Governor’s Army, has made her who she is today, and now, trapped alone behind enemy lines, she isn’t even sure if she’ll live to see tomorrow. Lance wasn’t cut out for war, but he’s determined to be the best soldier that he can be. The Median Army is resolved to restore peace to the Republic, and the only way Lance can help is to return to the unit he’s been separated from. When a bitter storm drives the two lost opponents to both seek shelter in an abandoned house, it’s only a matter of time before secrets will begin to surface, threatening the precarious peace of their temporary truce. Can Lance be trusted? Where do his allegiances truly lie? Why is Teddy so guarded? Why does she seem vaguely familiar? Could their unlikely alliance be the key to peace or will their differences ultimately tear them apart?
