The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white
nights, all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal
renewal. The war has not yet touched this city of fallen
grandeur, or the lives of two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha
Metanova, who share a single room in a cramped apartment
with their brother and parents. Their world is turned upside
down when Hitler's armies attack Russia and begin their
unstoppable blitz to Leningrad.
Yet there is light in the darkness. Tatiana meets Alexander,
a brave young officer in the Red Army. Strong and
self-confident, yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past,
he is drawn to Tatiana—and she to him. Starvation,
desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the
terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Tatiana and
Alexander's impossible love threatens to tear the Metanova
family apart and expose the dangerous secret Alexander so
carefully protects—a secret as devastating as the war
itself—as the lovers are swept up in the brutal tides that
will change the world and their lives forever.
