Description

“A Regular Husband” comes home after work. And he says the phrase that shatters their familiar life into pieces: “I’m filing for divorce.”

For Vera—a doctor and attentive mother—this feels like betrayal. But the moment strange documents marked “Curator” surface in the property division section, and suspicious strangers start appearing near their son’s school, it becomes clear that the reason isn’t a mistress. Her husband isn’t a typical banker at all—behind him is an army and operations, and now the past has finally caught up with their family.

Divorce doesn’t turn into freedom, but into the only way to stay alive. And Vera is definitely not the type to wait until someone saves her. When their own home becomes a frontline, and to protect her child she literally has to pin her husband to the floor and bandage his wound, she makes a decision.

This book is a volatile mix of family drama and fast-paced action. A story about how, in a single evening, “the right” wife becomes a partner—and about the feelings that reignite when you can already taste gunpowder in the air.
