A BROKEN HEART, A LOST LOVE

Ten years ago, a war tore them apart. Everyone told her he was a ghost—and urged her to forget his name. They were wrong.

Separated on a wet stone bridge during a chaotic military retreat, Nadia and Alex were forced into two different worlds. Bound to a gray basement archive, Nadia rejects every attempt to move on, clinging to a simple hand-carved wooden ring. Across the border, Alex wakes in a war hospital with a stolen memory, holding only a faded photograph of the girl he promised to find.

Driven by an unbreakable vow, two searching souls cross frozen mountain passes and sweep through mist-shrouded border towns, closing a decade-long gap one desperate clue at a time. In this emotionally charged second-chance romance, every heartbeat is a testament to relentless loyalty and soulmate devotion.

When the storm clears over the ancient stone bridge where their hands first slipped apart, will ten years of grief dissolve in a single second—or will the tide of time keep them forever in the shadows?
