Inspired by the incredible true events of Operation Seven, where a handful of Jewish citizens escaped Berlin in 1942 by posing as German intelligence agents. A beautifully emotional and action-packed historical novel about a forbidden love affair, unfathomable courage and the power of never losing hope.
Leonore: An aspiring journalist, Leonore cannot believe she's now undergoing covert training to be a German agent. Her instructors have no idea she is Jewish. With her family gone, she refuses to wear the yellow star. And this secret mission to escape Berlin is her last chance to be free...
Knut: Lieutenants Knut and Bernd have fallen in love in stolen moments. Bernd, with his warm brown eyes, is Knut's last safe place in a regime built to hate who he is. They pretend to be loyal to their Nazi superiors. But their real mission-recruiting Jewish agents to smuggle them out of the country-has only just begun.
Michaela: As a Jewish doctor banned from practicing, the threat of deportation looms. But what about her two precious little girls, living in secret with their Aryan aunt outside Berlin? She must put all her faith in Knut and Bernd if she's ever to see them again... with no idea if she can really trust the two softly spoken men in Nazi uniforms, posing as a German spy is her only option.
Hope forges unlikely friendships between the people of Operation Seven. But when the cover of the entire group is threatened, will they make it across the border to Switzerland in time?
Fans of The Nightingale, All the Light We Cannot See and Kate Quinn will be totally swept away.
