    Summary

    He was supposed to escort her. He never expected to keep her.

    Anya Gorchakov was trained young: flirt, listen, vanish. Once the daughter of a Russian colonel, now a spy for Japan, fluent in five languages and seven kinds of manipulation, she was never meant to last. Just another tool in Tsurumi’s arsenal.

    Ogata Hyakunosuke is a sniper, a misanthrope, and the last man suited to babysitting a spy with more charm than discipline, but when he's ordered to escort her in the frostbitten months following the Russo-Japanese War, things go wrong.

    What begins as a simple assignment spirals into something else. Control quickly curdling into obsession, loyalty twisting toward betrayal. At the center of it all, Anya turns every glance into leverage, a woman trained to survive by being wanted.

    A reverse harem of war criminals, spies, and killers. A woman who knows exactly how to weaponize her want and a sniper who never expected to care.

    Starts in October 1906 (six months pre-canon) and carries through canon. A slow-burn psychological thriller about weaponized sex, fractured loyalty, and the kind of intimacy that only blooms in blood.
