Historical

A family divided. A war-torn continent. An impossible journey.

In the thick of World War II, Nora Brouwer is the Resistance's most valuable asset. But when her cover is blown in a botched execution, her life is in grave danger. She must leave Amsterdam immediately and embark on a perilous journey across war-torn Europe, fighting to stay out of the Nazis' clutches.

Meanwhile, Floris Brouwer—the city's top Jew hunter and Nora's husband, is hell-bent on exacting revenge on his traitorous wife. As he faces deportation to the very camps he had sent hundreds of Jews to, he seizes a lifeline to avoid certain death, but the cost is unimaginable.

Christiaan Brouwer, Nora's brother-in-law, is stuck in Switzerland, his heart aching as he hears news of his homeland's brutal Nazi occupation. When he's offered the chance to escort a downed British pilot back to England and join the Allied forces, he knows he must take it, even if it means risking everything, including the life of his Jewish girlfriend, Lisa.

Will Nora make it to safety, or will she be caught and face certain death? Will Floris succeed in his mission of vengeance, or will his past catch up with him? And will Christiaan and Lisa make it through Nazi-occupied France, or will they fall prey to the enemy? Only time will tell in this gripping story of life during the war.

You can’t save them all, but you might save yourself...

From London to the Eastern Front, the Orphans of War trilogy's second installment is a heart-stopping tale of conflicting loyalties, ever-present danger, and the will to survive at all costs.
