When the apocalyptic horseman known as War claims Miriam as his heaven-sent wife during the fall of Jerusalem, she finds herself torn between survival and salvation—forced to witness the world burn while held captive by the very force destroying it. But beneath War's terrifying exterior lurks a tender side that's achingly determined to win her heart, and Miriam discovers that resisting him might be impossible. As she grapples with an impossible choice between loving the man who's ending humanity and fighting to save everyone she's ever known, Miriam learns that surrender and sacrifice are the only languages War understands. This is an epic, sweeping romance that asks what we'd risk for love when the stakes are literally the end of the world.

Dark, brooding industrial soundscapes meet smoldering sensuality—think Nine Inch Nails intensity paired with the raw vulnerability of Chelsea Wolfe and Massive Attack. Gothic, apocalyptic atmosphere with moments of unexpected tenderness. Haunting synths, heavy bass, and whispered vocals that blur the line between destruction and devotion.
