Gazing through the barbed wire, she makes a silent vow: she will not let her family die in this camp.

1944, Germany: Antonia was once a fierce Ukrainian resistance fighter, using her wits and hidden panels in her Carpathian village to fight for her homeland alongside her true love, Viktor. But everything shatters when the Nazi regime targets her family. When her beloved sister, Lena, and her young nephews are captured and thrown into a brutal slave labor camp, Antonia makes an impossible choice—she voluntarily boards the transport truck to go with them.

Inside the freezing camp, survival becomes a psychological game of chess.

As winter claws its way through the barracks, Lena starves herself to keep her children fed, and Antonia’s oldest nephew falls deathly ill. Cut off from Viktor and surrounded by brutal guards on high alert for resistance operatives, Antonia knows she can trust absolutely no one. To save her family from certain death, she must rely entirely on her own raw ingenuity to orchestrate a high-stakes escape out of the camp gates.

An epic, heart-wrenching World War II survival story filled with sacrifice and unbreakable courage, perfect for fans of The Nightingale, Fiona Valpy, and The Tattooist of Auschwitz
