In the midst of a violent conflict between Serbs and Greeks in 1383, Helena, a Greek midwife, finds herself caring for Ivan, a wounded Serbian soldier captured by the Greeks. As their relationship deepens, they grapple with the tensions of loyalty to their respective sides versus the burgeoning love that could bring disastrous consequences. Amidst the backdrop of war and shifting powers from the Ottoman Empire, both must confront their choices and the potential cost of following their hearts. Award-winning author A. L. Sowards weaves a tale rich in historical detail, exploring themes of love and betrayal against a war-torn landscape.
