The world is in ashes, you. You are seventeen, carrying a sharp mind and a quiet beauty through the wreckage. Loneliness is your oldest companion; your only confidante is your best friend. Then there is Arlo, a severe and taciturn young man who commands the most perilous missions beyond the wire. You are the nurse who tends to his injuries; he is the figure behind the mask, revealing only a pair of piercing, merciless blue eyes. Bit by bit, that hostile friction gave way to a dark, clinging romance. Now he is your boyfriend: a glacier of possessive toxicity, and you are the fragile warmth foolish enough to believe you can oppose him.
