Five lives. One war. No way back.

From the burning streets of Belfast to the barricades of Derry and the safehouses of Galway, five young fighters are bound together by loyalty, loss, and the desperate fight for survival.

Orlagh, the iron-willed leader who sacrifices softness for command.
Franek, the Polish exile who found a cause worth dying for.
Liam and Emma, teenagers forced into adulthood too soon.
And K, the soldier whose defiance is matched only by his scars.

Together, they endure ambushes, betrayals, and the weight of choices that cannot be undone. Love flickers in the cracks of war, but every step forward carries the cost of blood.

As the conflict closes in, one truth becomes clear: none of them will escape unchanged.

A searing novella of war and loyalty, where survival is not victory - and every act of defiance leaves a mark.
