   Summary

   Oxford, 1946. The war is over, but the shadows it left behind are not.

   Galadriel, wrecked by loss and haunted by the things she's seen as a combat nurse, returns for her final year to finish what she started before her world fell apart. Halbrand, battle-scarred and a chip on his shoulder, comes back with the same goal; wanting to complete his studies in peace.

   But peace is not so simple. The tides of fate bind them together and what begins in tension slowly unravels– two wounded souls navigating class divides, post-war grief, and the terrifying realization that their connection is something deeper than they ever expected.
