"Survive for as long as you can, fight until you can't fight any longer, and if this war ever ends, I want you to run as far from here as you can and never look back..."
Nazi-occupied Prague, 1941: On a foggy winter's day, a solider called Charlie is ordered to murder an elderly Jewish woman. He refuses, but that doesn't stop another Nazi shooting her. As the woman's daughter cries out, "Mama, no, please don't leave me!" Charlie knows that he is not a killer. He vows to save as many lives as he can.
In Theresienstadt concentration camp, he sees the same sapphire-eyed girl with beautiful auburn hair. Her name is Amelia. He escorts her to Block B and memorizes her prison number. They are meant to be enemies yet, in that instant, he falls in love.
Yet in such hell, love isn't meant to exist and they are destined to be torn apart. Despite this, Charlie never stops looking for Amelia, writing letters to her and keeping them safe. But what are the chances of her surviving the war? Will the soldier's letters remain unread forever?
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice, and Orphan Train will be absolutely gripped by this heart-wrenching World War Two page-turner--a story of forbidden love, and its power to survive the impossible.
