But years later, they reunite in the ruins of Berlin, where Anna is searching for her missing children. With the blockade tightening and the Soviets set on conquest, Harry is in dangerous waters. And when a stunning revelation exposes a dark secret, it threatens to destroy everything Anna and Harry hold dear. As the Cold War dawns, Harry and Anna walk a treacherous line between love and duty, integrity and survival, fear and faith.
