Overview

In the Third Reich during World War II, as cities burn and armies fracture, Generalmajor Alexander von Ulrich faces a war more dangerous than any fought with guns: the battle within his own soul. Torn between nationalist duty and the weight of his own crumbling morality, Alexander becomes a Soviet spy and is entangled in a forbidden romance that deepens his disillusionment. Under the cover of night, amid the smoke and ruins of a dying empire, Alexander trades one loyalty for another, slipping into the shadows as a Soviet informant. But espionage offers no redemption, only a slower kind of death. Haunted by bloodshed, betrayal, and lost love, Alexander spirals into isolation, leaving behind only a series of wartime journal entries that reveal the full extent of his inner collapse. Years later, his daughter, still grappling with the wreckage of his choices, pieces together his story in the aftermath of his suicide. Through her eyes, Caroline lays bare the lingering wounds of war-how violence carves into not only nations, but families, how guilt seeps across generations, and how even love can be weaponized against hope. Blending brutal battlefield scenes, stolen moments of tenderness, and a piercing psychological portrait, Caroline is a meditation on identity, loyalty, and the human spirit crushed between history's wheels. Inspired by Tolstoy's humanism and Dostoevsky's psychological depth, this novella asks: Can a soul ever return from war?
