About This Book

Part Two of a Five Part Series. As the Nazis invade Europe, a new war brings heartache, danger, death… and love, in the most surprising of places. England Rob thought that saying goodbye to his wife Annie would be the hardest thing he'd ever have to do; that was, until the fall of Calais. What lies in wait for him will change his life forever. For Annie, just the thought of losing Rob is almost too much to bear and everyone around her dreads how she'll cope if the worst should happen. Germany Hans' sadistic ways continue, fuelled by his hatred for the Jews, and for one man in particular. Karin's love for Claudia is tested to the limits, but will she be found wanting? And how will she feel when she discovers the truth about her daughter? Franz reluctantly involves his wife Hannah in spying on his Nazi masters. Will he live to regret his decision? Poland Having lost her husband in the early days of the war, Felcia now lives for her son. But just when she starts to believe in the future again, her past comes back to haunt her, causing lifelong repercussions. Raisa hopes for a better time, now that she's under the protection of Andreas and looks forward to their time together, while Gerhard, appalled by the treatment of the Jews in Warsaw, takes the greatest gamble of his life. For each individual, their actions have far-reaching consequences that will revisit them and their loved-ones throughout the passing years. This is the second of a five part chronicle, telling several inter-woven stories through the Spanish Civil War, World War Two, and beyond. *** This book has some adult content. ***
