Before Antonia and her family were captured and sent to a slave labor camp, she was a fighter rather than a victim. Her resistance group, made up of young men and women from the same Carpathian village, struggled to free their country from those who had turned it into a bloody battleground. By her side was clever, handsome Viktor—the man she was to marry, and whose love shone like a light even when dark and violent conflicts engulfed them.

Antonia does not know if her beloved Viktor has been caught or executed. There are rumors the war is coming to an end but she cannot wait to be saved. Her precious nephews will die without proper food. The Nazis might require every able body to push back against the Red Tide, but Antonia also knows she or the others could be killed at any moment.

Outside the camp gates, the war is raging but Antonia must find a way through them, even if means putting her own life on the line. The Nazis may have taken nearly everything from her – her country, her dreams, her passions – but the enemy will never take away her fierce courage…

Inspired by the author’s research into her family’s and community’s histories, this is a heartbreaking, inspiring and totally unforgettable story of the faith, courage and determination of those who survived the darkest days of the war. Fans of Mandy Robotham, Kate Quinn and Pam Jenoff will be gripped from the very first page until the final, heart-stopping conclusion.
