Astor Harrington’s life slips away on the blood-soaked floors of the besieged military base, turning the quiet, steadfast protector of your soul into your most desperate battle yet. Amidst the chaos of gunfire and screaming sirens, the ruthless captain who once handed you a white flower to mend your withering spirit now lies dying in your arms, his chest torn apart by an enemy bullet. Refusing to let the man who taught you how to cry be stolen away by the war, you fight against the dying light with every ounce of medical skill and tearful command you possess. As his heavy eyelids flutter and his breath grows painfully thin, your fierce refusal to obey his surrender reveals the ultimate truth—the soldier who vowed to keep you safe through the nightmare now needs you to pull him back from the edge of death.
