The Obelisk: A Tale of Survival and Sacrifice
As Germany's invasion of Austria looms in March of 1938, three teenagers are forced to flee for their lives from the massacre in the small village of Weghaltz. Among them is Jaro Bauer, a brave and determined young man, and his sister Kiana Grat, who he will do anything to protect. With them is Oskar, a loyal friend and fellow survivor.
As they make their way through Austria, they encounter two other deserters from the German army, who join their group. Together, the five of them travel to Italy in search of safety and a better life. But their hopes are soon shattered as they face the brutal reality of war.
In South Switzerland, as they try to rebuild their lives, tragedy strikes when Kiana is kidnapped by German soldiers. Unable to sit idly by, Oskar must risk everything to find his sister and bring her back home. To do so, he must disguise himself in enemy uniforms and navigate through the dangers of war-torn Europe. How far will a brother go to save his only living relative?
Inspired by the true stories of three Austrian soldiers who lived through the horrors of the German invasion, The Obelisk is a gripping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of family. With powerful emotions and a heart-racing plot, readers will be on the edge of their seats until the very end.
If you enjoyed The Book Thief or All the Light We Cannot See, you won't want to miss this gripping historical fiction novel.
