Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading.

Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, grows into something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.
Except the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them. There's st ill a war going on, after all. And someone has to win that war. That's how war works. Right?
