The Share of Probability

Rebecca Yarros, author of the bestsellers “Fourth Wing” and “Iron Flame,” has written a poignant novel about how a chance encounter can reveal one’s true destiny, and important people will keep appearing in life over and over until it becomes clear that it is fate. For the first time in Russian! Izzy boards the plane with a bit of panic — she is afraid of flying — and there she sees Nate for the first time. 

He is flying to serve in the army, she is going to university to study. The chemistry between them is instant and undeniable, they have things to talk about, and the flight seems far from frightening. 

This hypothesis, however, is disproved a minute and a half after takeoff, when the plane crashes, but fortunately falls into a river. 

Nate is forced to leave Izzy in the hospital. She doesn’t even know his last name, and he doesn’t dare to find her afterward. Years go by. Against all odds, they meet again. 

Izzy studies, then works at a prestigious law firm, and then even goes into politics. Nate serves far from home and builds a military career. 

Both believe that their relationship is only possible in the unimaginable future. Both understand that they cannot imagine a future without each other. Thus, ten years pass. 

And now they meet again, in a distant country engulfed in a coup. 

Nate’s job is to protect Izzy and the embassy staff. The only problem is that Izzy is engaged to another, and Nate has not been able to forget her all these years...
