In a city scarred by war, can love and loyalty survive?

In war-torn Poland, 1944, Julia searches for her missing father - a high-ranking officer - and risks everything to join the resistance in Warsaw. But her mission takes a terrifying turn when she's corralled into the ghetto by Nazis.

Just when it seems she'll share her best friend's tragic fate, Nikolaj, her childhood sweetheart, resurfaces in a German uniform. Claiming to be a spy for the resistance, he saves her - but can she trust the man he's become?

Trapped within enemy barracks and with her half-Jewish heritage, her life hangs by a thread...

Will Julia ever reunite with her father and her captured friend? And can she survive a war that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear?

Heartbreaking, unputdownable and inspiring, this is perfect for fans of 'The Alice Network', 'The Nightingale', and 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz'.
