A country with a closed border, and for a reason. A girl, Rebenka, doing her duty, guarding the border from a watchtower, keeping her people safe. An approaching airship carrying a stowaway, Albert, a street kid from London who lives under a bridge. An unlikely romance that leads from the winter mountains of Thracia to the streets of London. An impossible agreement to meet again on Christmas day at noon in Trafalgar Square. A stolen weapon and a girl who isn’t who she seems and is hiding a secret that might tear them apart. Is love or duty stronger? Only time will tell.
