In the besieged streets of Kharkiv, Captain Dmitri Volkov fights not out of patriotism, but to honor the memory of a father he lost—and the sacrifice of a young soldier who saved him. Unwittingly sharing his battleground is Colonel Sergei Volkov, Dmitri's uncle, whose own grief and longing collide with his duty in a heart-wrenching radio reunion. All the while, war correspondent Isabella Chen follows the trail of a conspiracy—an arms dealer whose shadowy empire profits on both sides of the line.

As chemical weapons tear families apart and NATO forces prepare a controversial strike, ordinary people become heroes in the smallest acts of kindness: a three-legged dog guiding children to safety, a doctor healing an enemy's wound, a hacker unleashing damning evidence at the cost of her own life.

When Dmitri must choose between saving his men or the civilians beneath the rubble, and Isabella risks everything to expose the truth, their decisions will decide the fate of thousands. Kharkiv's Last Stand is a gripping tale of family, betrayal, and the hope that springs from even the darkest hour.
