Stolen from her home as a child, she was raised to survive the wild. Now, the wilderness is the only thing keeping them alive.

In 1922, two-year-old Yona is stolen from her wealthy German parents by a mysterious older woman who raises her deep within the unforgiving forests of Eastern Europe. For two decades, Yona learns the art of wilderness survival, isolation, and languages—completely cut off from civilization.

But in 1941, her captor dies, leaving Yona entirely alone just as World War II consumes the outside world.

Her solitary life is shattered when she stumbles upon a group of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi terror. Horrified by the atrocities of the war, Yona vows to use her unique survival skills to protect them, teaching them how to hunt, hide, and endure the brutal winters.
