In the winter of 1938, eighteen-year-old Michael Fernsby crossed into Nazi Germany with his brother David and a single promise: bring their family out before the Reich swallowed them whole.
The plan failed within days.
Now the Gestapo want Michael hanged for the men he killed while trying to escape, and a hundred kilometres of checkpoints stand between him and the French border.
Wounded, alone, and hunted through the Black Forest, he takes shelter in a stranger’s hayloft with no strength left to run.
By morning, his life is in the hands of a girl who should be his enemy.
Mina Postner should hand him to the soldiers. Her whole family would pay if she did not.
Instead, she brings him bread and fresh water.
Day by day a young man from England and a girl from the enemy’s heartland fall into the one thing the war will not allow.
When the knock comes at the barn door, Mina will make a choice she can never undo…
