They never imagined history would declare war on them. As Europe stands on the brink of war, two young people from worlds that should never have collided meet at a summer fête. Their connection is immediate, irresistible. and destined to be tested beyond imagination. As Nazi forces occupy France, their dreams are swept away by fear, betrayal, and unimaginable loss.
With innocent lives hanging in the balance, they are drawn into the deadly world of the French Resistance, where every secret carries the risk of arrest, torture, and execution. As the Allies prepare for D-Day, hope begins to flicker across occupied Europe. But for the men of the SS, retreat is not an option. Their final, brutal acts of vengeance will forever stain the soil of France with innocent blood.
