On the remote Russian island of Velika, where the sea freezes half the year and the winds whip with a quiet fury, Isla lives a quiet, modest life as a fisherwoman and caretaker for her elderly grandmother. The island is small, isolated, and bound by tradition — where outsiders rarely set foot.
Nathan Karpov, a naive yet strong-willed Russian army recruit from the mainland, finds himself stationed briefly on Velika after a traumatic event on the front lines leaves him unable to return immediately to active duty. Meant only as a stop to recover and “find himself,” Nathan never expected the haunting beauty of the island… nor the pull of Isla, the fiery young woman who challenges everything he thought he knew about duty, desire, and love.
Their attraction is instant but unspoken — a deep yearning that builds with every heated glance and forbidden touch, culminating in nights of passion that neither of them can deny.
