Something is very off with this war. Did Varilik isolate himself at the front knowing how unpopular their war objectives would be?
Can Ain get any dumber?
Our prisoner awakes to a myriad of mysteries. He is an empty vessel with no knowledge of who he is or why he is there. The complete absence of memories is frightening to his core.

By this time, the first police unit formed to combat terrorism has been in operation for two years, created to battle this very group. The odds have worsened and their foes have become traitors.
Elias and Theo are off after the bandits, but first they must survive a whiteout. They're fighting nature itself, but the worst trials against ruthless fanatics lie ahead.
Ain's reaction and actions were predictable and Varilik had to know. Now I not only question Varilik's motives, but his loyalty to the country.
