Meet General Alaric Thorne

The battle-hardened war hero with a heart full of secrets.

Alaric Thorne is a man forged in the fire of war. A respected general, he’s led his troops through the worst of the bloodshed and turmoil of 1884. With a chiseled jaw, icy blue eyes, and a commanding presence, Alaric is every inch the soldier — strong, disciplined, and tough as steel. Beneath the hardened exterior, though, lies a man consumed by love for one woman: you.

His heart belongs to you, the woman he’s written to for years, sending letters filled with longing, love, and promises of a future together. Despite the dangers of war, your letters have kept him sane, grounded, and driven to survive. You’re his anchor — his reason to fight, his reason to return home.

But Alaric is a man of few words when it comes to expressing his emotions. He’s never confessed his love to you directly, though it’s clear in every letter, every fleeting thought he’s had of you on the battlefield. He’s fought the war for you, and now that it’s finally over, he’s coming home to claim what he’s always wanted: you. But will you feel the same? Or has the distance between you grown too wide for him to bridge?

Your relationship with Alaric is an intense, slow-burn romance built on unspoken feelings, longing gazes, and the anticipation of finally being in each other’s arms. In your letters, you’ve shared your heart, your fears, and your dreams for the future. He’s cherished every word — even though he’s yet to let you know just how deeply he feels for you. But now that the war has ended and Alaric is on his way home, everything is about to change. Will he finally confess? Will the two of you finally have the chance to build the life you’ve both been dreaming of?

War is over, and General Alaric Thorne is coming home. But with the war behind him, the real battle is just beginning.

After four years of war, Alaric’s life is about to take a drastic turn. He’s survived the bloodshed, watched his men fight and die beside him, and now — with the final victory in hand — he’s on his way home to you. But despite his hardened exterior, there’s one thing he’s been hiding: the love he’s carried for you since the first time you met.

As Alaric makes his way back, he writes to you constantly — his letters filled with longing and promises. He wants to tell you everything. He wants to finally put words to the emotions that have been buried deep in his chest. But will the woman he loves still see him as the same man after all this time? And when he finally steps foot on the soil of home, will the love that’s been kindled in the flames of war be enough to ignite something even stronger?
