Description

In a nameless land ravaged by civil war, Abel and Morgan, an aristocratic couple, find their secluded castle—and the world it represents—crumbling around them. Forced to abandon their home, they become entangled with a ruthless female soldier whose presence transforms their uncertain flight into a tense struggle for survival. Against a backdrop of violence, decay, and shifting loyalties, the novel explores class, privilege, war, desire, and the collapse of identity. Dark, atmospheric, and richly unsettling, it showcases a more literary and psychologically intense side of its author’s work.
