Determined to save his father, Felix makes a fateful decision that places him directly in the Gestapo's sights, forever altering his destiny.
Karl Vogt is a rising star in the Sicherheitsdienst. Known for his ruthless efficiency, he is entrusted with solving the Third Reich's growing Jewish problem. As his zeal catapults him further up the Nazi hierarchy, Karl unknowingly helps lay the groundwork for one of history's greatest atrocities.
In Prague, Adela Beran works as a translator for the foreign ministry, watching Hitler's shadow creep closer to her homeland. Feeling powerless to protect her country and loved ones, she seizes a dangerous opportunity to resist. The cost of failure is certain death, but success could mean freedom for those she holds dear.
As war looms, their fates collide in a treacherous game of survival, resistance, and betrayal. In a world consumed by fear and betrayal, no one—not the oppressed, the oppressors, or those who dare to defy them—is truly safe.
A gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the choices that define us, this novel is perfect for fans of The Nightingale and Beneath a Scarlet Sky.
