September 1941
Prague, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia
Reinhard Heydrich arrives in Prague to crush a defiant nation.
In London, Felix Wolff helps train two Czech agents for Operation Anthropoid–a mission with one aim: kill Heydrich. But every plan Felix signs off on carries a private cost: the woman who once saved his life is still in Prague, and he knows exactly how the Reich will answer a blow like this.
In the Protectorate, Adela Beran is alone. Dragged back into the underground by a single name she cannot forget, she becomes handler for the men sent to kill Heydrich. She understands what others refuse to say aloud: if they succeed, Prague will bleed. If they fail, it will bleed anyway—just sooner.
Far to the east, Karl Vogt is learning what mass murder looks like without paperwork. Pushed from the Reich’s polished offices into the chaos of Operation Barbarossa, he helps stage ‘self-cleansing’ pogroms and shootings that must appear inevitable, and local. When an unexpected summons pulls him back to Prague, Karl cannot tell if he is being called to account… or being offered his chance to rise.
As Operation Anthropoid hurtles toward its bloody end, these three lives converge in a city where victory guarantees reprisal and every decision leaves a stain. In a world ruled by fear and bureaucracy, survival is not innocence—and resistance is never clean.
