Agatha

Year 2010. On her way home to Argentina after graduating in Moscow, Agatha García López makes a last-minute stop in Yemen to visit her close university friend, Andrei Zorin, now posted to the Russian embassy in Sana'a. Days after she lands, the country fractures into violence. Flights vanish, streets erupt, and an evacuation is hastily arranged for Russian citizens.

Thrown into a convoy of strangers and diplomats, Agatha must navigate roadblocks, shifting allegiances, and the thin line between duty and desire. As danger tightens around the capital, memories of student days collide with the stark choices of adulthood: whom to trust, what to risk, and where "home" truly is. Between midnight drives and whispered plans, feelings long left unspoken surface—forcing Agatha to decide whether her future lies on a plane out of Yemen or in the uncertain promise offered by the friend who invited her there.

A propulsive, atmospheric novel of love, peril, and self-discovery set against the Arab Middle East. This is a work of fiction. All characters and events are entirely imagined.
