As the Tsar's dreams turned to dust, men like him fought for a world that had already died.
In the frozen wastelands of Siberia, as the Russian Civil War grinds on, Viktor Ivanov?a sniper in the Red Army?finds himself at the crossroads of duty and doubt. Stationed in a crumbling factory, he faces the last stronghold of the White Army, holed up in a church that stands as a defiant symbol of the old world. As he waits for the moment to strike, Viktor is ordered to eliminate the enemy sniper in the church's bell tower?a man just like him, trained to kill with precision and cold detachment.
But across the battlefield, in the same desolate landscape, another man waits?Dmitri Volkov, a sniper for the White Army. Dmitri. His scope mirrors Viktor's, both men seeking the same target?the one who dares to strike first, in this unforgiving war to the last man, and to the last bullet.
The war has claimed their country, their dreams, and now, it will claim them too. But for Viktor and Dmitri, there is only the cold, the waiting, and the inevitable confrontation that will decide who will survive, and who will fade into the annals of forgotten history.
