In Russia the Bolshevik revolution is in full-swing while
the supposed Great War is destroying Europe in ways never
before imagined. Fulltime lovers and part-time enemies,
British spy Jack McColl and progressive American journalist
Caitlin Hanley, have seen their relationship survive this
far but in a world defined by “win at all cost” attitudes
how much longer can they hold out? Winter 1917: As a generation of Europe’s young men perish on
the Eastern and Western fronts, British spy Jack McColl is
assigned a sabotage mission deep in Central Asia, where
German influence is strong. The mission only becomes more
dangerous the closer he gets to its heart. Meanwhile, the
woman he loves, Irish-American radical journalist Caitlin
Hanley, is in Bolshevik Russia, thrilled to have the chance
to cover the Revolution. Caitlin knows Moscow is where she
is meant to be during this historic event—even if she is
putting her own life at risk to bear witness. But four years of bloody war have taken their toll on all of
Europe, and Jack and Caitlin’s relationship may become
another casualty. Caitlin’s political convictions have
always been for progress, feminism, and socialism—often
diametrically opposed to the conservative goals of the
British Empire Jack serves. Up until now, Jack and Caitlin
have managed to set aside their allegiances and stay
faithful to each other, but the stakes of their affair have
risen too high. Can a revolutionary love a spy? And if she
does, will it cost one of them their life?
