• It reads: Burn before reading

n Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. 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. n n Except the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them.

There's still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win that war. That's how war works.
