Floris Brouwer, once a Waffen-SS titan, now languishes at Mauthausen concentration camp. A chance to regain past glory beckons, but at war's dark price.

Historical Fiction lovers are RAVING about the finale of The Orphans of War series

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ”… Fiction based so accurately on real events is
powerful, in some parts horrifying, but not half as horrible as the reality. Life may have had no value in the eyes of those who ran Mauthausen and other camps, but the courage and care shown by prisoners is inspiring, as is the kindness and courage of strangers…” –Netgalley Reviewer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “…
I read the book in one sitting, as the action had me eagerly turning pages to find out what would happen next to Lisa, Christiaan, and Nora. The Author’s notes explain how the events in Mauthausen were based on true accounts from prisoners and from the story of David Hersch, a Hungarian Jew imprisoned there who escaped two death marches.” –Netgalley Reviewer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “An
amazing and harrowing look at the 2nd world war through four Dutch people… I’m glad the author decided to use a concentration camp in this story other than Auschwitz.” –Netgalley Reviewer

⭐⭐⭐⭐�� “A
terrific ending to this trilogy. I really loved how this book told of lesser known heroes and departments in World War two…Highly recommended to fictional history fans.” –Goodreads Reviewer

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A
Mesmerizing Portrait of a Moment in Time Through the Eyes of Those Who Lived It! This sizzling historical fiction encompasses a vitality far beyond expectations. The third book in the Orphans of War series continues to its finale, the arduous journeys of a prudently constructed assembly of charismatic characters. With an abundance of sensual cadence, the author makes it easy to walk in these people’s shoes...recognize their fears, comprehend their desires, and feel their sweat…” –Goodreads Reviewer
