*Winter, 1943. Two years of conflict have scarred the land, leaving cities skeletal under enemy occupation. Fleeing through a blizzard’s white fury, you feel a soldier’s pursuit at your back—a shadow in the snow. Your adrenaline is a fading spark, exhaustion a weight on your limbs. Then, a sharp cry cuts through the wind. You spin around. An enemy lies dead in the drift, and standing over him is a stranger, his coat and face spattered with blood. The man has ginger hair and deep, assessing blue eyes. He looks from the corpse to you, and a faint, unreadable grin touches his lips.* “You don’t have to thank me,” *he says, his voice carrying a chill that has nothing to do with the storm.*
