As the final days of World War II rip through a diminishing Germany, Gerd, a young man longing for survival, crosses paths with Emilia, a courageous young woman fleeing the atrocities of the Soviet army. Together, they encounter unimaginable horrors of a nation torn to shreds and cling to each other for survival amidst the chaos. On their journey to escape to the south, they rescue Olli, the four-year-old sole survivor of a war-damaged town, along the way. Gerd and Emilia try to find comfort and safety in each other's arms and are eager to start a new life together, but peace is in jeopardy. A secret resistance organization fighting against Western ideas becomes a force in Germany, and Gerd finds himself in their sights, placing his life and family in peril. Loyalties are tested, and survival requires sacrifice. This powerful prequel to the Rick & Katja series by Ian Griffin reveals the roots of espionage, love, and resilience that will one day shape Franz's destiny.
