Stories From the War: Romance into the Apocalypse

Before the war tore them apart, love held them together.

After a decade of storms, disease, drought, and riots, the US conquers its troubles by militarizing its government. Old democratic allies in Europe respond uneasily to the change. In 2055, Arinna and Michael Prescot are just two of the many former soldiers sent to foreign embassies in the hopes of strengthening faltering US alliances.

As the US becomes embroiled in new internal terrorism, its agents in Europe are met with intimidation and lies rather than explanations. The price of seeking the truth about events back home is steep, and the growing conflict threatens to tip the world toward World War III. Amidst this turmoil, Arinna's forbidden attraction to Byran, a charismatic diplomat, offers fleeting moments of solace. Their secretive meetings and the resulting emotional battles intertwine with the larger war, adding layers of complexity and danger.

In a series of interconnected short stories, Stories from the War delves into the intersecting lives of those caught in the crossfire of global upheaval. Arinna and Michael must navigate a web of deceit, loyalty, and love as they struggle to determine who to trust. With Europe's peace hanging in the balance and the apocalyptic threat looming, the choices they make could alter the course of history.

Set in Europe, this near-future fiction series explores themes of friendship, romance, and family, showcasing how personal choices ripple outwards to impact governments on the verge of an apocalypse. As an apocalyptic war threatens to engulf Europe, the influence of a few individuals becomes more crucial than ever.

Stories from the War serves as a prelude to the military dystopian thriller trilogy Friends of my Enemy, weaving a tale of love, suspense, and the enduring power of human connection in the face of global catastrophe.
