It was to be the war to end all wars, and it began at 11:15 on the morning of June 28, 1914, in an outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire called Sarajevo. It would officially end nearly five years later. Unofficially, however, it has never ended: Many of the horrors we live with today are rooted in the First World War. The Great War left millions of civilians and soldiers maimed or dead. It also saw the creation of new technologies of destruction: tanks, planes, and submarines; machine guns and field artillery; poison gas and chemical warfare.

FAITH I bought an island to get away from people. Three hundred and forty acres, one seaplane pilot who thinks I’m hilarious, and zero neighbors. That was the plan. The plan did not account for a hermit already living in my woods. Or his pet wolf he calls Kitty. Or the fact that he’d spend three years alphabetizing his firewood and still somehow forget how to be a person around me. I have a scar, a system for avoiding men, and an ex-life in Chicago I’m not ready to talk about. I did not come here to fall for a six-foot-something ex-soldier who fixes my porch step, growls when I ...

Don’t let anyone notice you smell fear on a liar. Don’t ask why you dream of running through snow on four legs. The iron hunt didn’t care about my hiding.
