The Spiral

This story began long ago, when a vast country was shaken by convulsions of revolution and civil war. A runaway White officer, by the will of fate, found himself in Europe. His wife and underage daughter remained in the Union, and there was not even the slightest chance to find out what happened to them. The fugitive’s daughter grew up, hiding her origins. When an opportunity arose, she escaped to Germany with a Soviet scientist, living under other names. She met a Russian defector who worked for the Abwehr and began an affair with him. Shortly before the war, their paths diverged. A German spy with Russian roots often remembered the woman who, without intending to, had become a traitor. He loved her, but… to be together—his fate brought him to one of the camps in the heart of Europe. Who could imagine that here he would meet a runaway White officer who had once left an underage daughter in Russia? Sometimes history happens in an instant. And what can we say about the twists that people’s fates make over a hundred years? The tangled skein of secrets slowly unravels—loop by loop—until the plot’s tapestry woven by life itself comes together.
