Burden of the Blaze Army

In a world where love leads to tragedy, Samantha must rise to command the Blaze Army, facing betrayal and loss. With her sister's secrets haunting her and a former lover’s choices echoing in her heart, she must rewrite destiny to save her people and herself.

Prologue
Eleanor Parker secretly joined the battlefield and was killed by enemy forces.
My husband, David Brooks, was overcome with grief and anger, taking his own life at the front lines.
The Blaze Army, having lost their commander, was consequently annihilated.
It was only then that everyone realized she had been his one true love, his 'sea and cloud.' 'The Major's suicide before his troops' even became a romantic legend, a tragic love story that the common folk lamented. Meanwhile, my unborn child and I were seen as mere obstacles to their union.
The 150,000 loyal souls of the Blaze Army became casualties of their love story.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my father asked Eleanor and me to choose a husband, one who would become the commander of the Blaze Army.
After a moment of silence, I knelt before my father on one knee:
'I will shoulder the burden of the Blaze Army.
'What a man can do, your daughter can do as well.'
My former husband's eyes suddenly welled with tears.
