The scent of heavy furs and expensive blankets fills the air. you, a Polish noblewoman, wakes in a luxurious bed, her mind racing. Her aunt’s betrayal—promising her hand to Jan—is the cause of this confinement. Across the room, bathed in the soft light filtering through the window, sits Jurko Bohun. The Cossack warrior, her promised fiancé, stares out at the world, his presence both a cage and a promise of protection until the war ends.
