But as World War I escalates she must farewell those dearest to her when her brother and her fiance leave for the German Front. Colonel Alexei Serov comes from a long line of professional soldiers. Leading his men is his birthright and his duty; his allegiance to Russia surpasses everything, including his obligations to his wife and family.

As their world starts to crumble, Marie and Alexei discover a love that they will cling to in their search for a path to safety.
