The Watchman of Salt and Dust: The Romance of the Svyatoslav Bratva Leader

Under the water, Nikolai Feofanovich commands a submarine, Svyat. The silent hunter lurking beneath the surface with an all-sniper crew is always ready for battle. Together with his two brothers, they watch over the sea, offering protection to seafarers. To the women in forced mobilisation, they provide refuge in escaping their darkest nightmare.

This brotherhood is bound by a series of layered duties to fulfil. In the shadow, Kolya’s heart harbours a secret home. The quiet hours are when he watches over Alma, slipping gifts under her pillow.

She is a woman full of curiosity who is studying for her master’s degree on a full scholarship. Working at a restaurant to support herself, she finds herself smitten by a stalking masked man.

Alma’s life takes a heart-stopping turn when the leader of the notorious Yuren Bratva finds out about her. Their worlds collide on the chilling Kotlin Island in the far north. In the heart of the land of rebellious sailors and soldiers, romance takes root, and nothing will ever be the same.
