Germany, 1943. Anna Goldberg's world is torn apart by love, loyalty, and a future she never wanted. 


When Anna accepts the dangerous mission her Uncle Christian has set in motion, she enters the belly of the Wolf's Lair as one of Hitler's food tasters- outwardly appearing as innocent as Little Red Riding Hood, yet hiding a resolve far more dangerous than anyone could imagine. Each day, she lives under the shadow of suspicion, waiting for the moment to strike.

Far away on the brutal Eastern Front in Russia, her newlywed husband Hans fights for survival in a war that has long forgotten mercy, where freezing winters and the threat of surrender are as deadly as the enemy itself.

As fates begin to intertwine once more, Anna must decide how far she is willing to go and what price she is willing to pay.

The final chapter in Anna's story.


In a world ruled by fear, is courage enough to defy destiny?

Historical, Literary, Dark Chapter of History
