Publisher's Summary
A powerful and unforgettable story of the strength of women and the unwavering courage of those who seek a better world.
Austria, 1938
After years of hardship, Ella is full of hope for a better future for Austrians, and when Hitler marches into Linz, she can’t help but become swept up in the euphoria of her boyfriend, Max.
But she soon realises her mistake. When she witnesses a woman being shot in the street and a childhood friend’s Jewish department store is closed down, she knows she must do something.
It’s a dangerous time to be a resistor, especially when her fascist boyfriend proposes to her. Knowing the secrets she can uncover, Ella enlists in a Reich Bride School, finding herself propelled into the social elite of the Nazi circle.
Ella knows she has a duty – to her family, her friends, and her country – so while Europe teeters on the brink of WW2, a desperate race begins to save the people she loves. But betraying the Nazis could be her death sentence…
Fans of Suzanne Goldring, Mandy Robotham and Debbie Rix will devour this heartbreaking tale.

Great Story
I enjoyed this book. At times I couldn't put it down. I was a bit disappointed with the ending. In my opinion it should have continued with their work for the resistance until the end of the war.

A book you cannot put down
A great account of life in Austria before and during World War Two. The bravery of the resistance and the brutality of the Gestapo. A book hard to put down. Brilliant.
