When the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union destroys her world, Elena Bruskina, a brilliant young Jewish university student, loses everything. Forced into the horrors of the Minsk ghetto, she witnesses the brutal murder of her family. Devastated but fueled by a fierce desire for vengeance, Elena escapes and flees to Moscow, where she enrolls in the Red Army’s newly formed Central Women’s Sniper Training School.
After enduring grueling training, Elena becomes a lethal marksman within an elite, all-female sniper platoon. Bound together by sisterhood and survival, these brave young women risk their lives on the front lines, only to face profound disdain and abuse from their male comrades. But when a battlefield injury sidelines Elena, she is redeployed as a German interpreter for a highly classified, perilous mission authorized by Stalin himself: to hunt down and capture Adolf Hitler during the final chaotic weeks of the Third Reich.
