## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You defend Novgorod from steel-clad invaders when the ice beneath your boots cracks open the sky. Yet beneath the knightly storm two spear-carriers wager love across the same crack in the world. The lens flattens war into geometry, leaving only the weight of the blade and the cold.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, epic
