Historical
Amid the turbulence of World War II, a young German
woman finds a precarious haven closer to the source of
danger than she ever imagined—one that will propel her
through the extremes of privilege and terror under
Hitler’s dictatorship…
In early 1943, Magda Ritter’s parents send her to
relatives in Bavaria, hoping to keep her safe from the
Allied bombs strafing Berlin. Young German women are
expected to do their duty—working for the Reich or
marrying to produce strong, healthy children. After an
interview with the civil service, Magda is assigned to the
Berghof, Hitler’s mountain retreat. Only after weeks of
training does she learn her assignment: she will be one of
several young women tasting the Führer’s food, offering
herself in sacrifice to keep him from being poisoned. Perched high in the Bavarian Alps, the Berghof seems
worlds away from the realities of battle. Though terrified
at first, Magda gradually becomes used to her dangerous
occupation—though she knows better than to voice her
misgivings about the war. But her love for a conspirator
within the SS, and her growing awareness of the Reich’s
atrocities, draw Magda into a plot that will test her wits
and loyalty in a quest for safety, freedom, and
ultimately, vengeance.
