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 imaginedโone that will propel her through the extremes of privilege and terror under Hitlerโs dictatorshipโฆ
In early 1943, Magda Ritterโs 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 dutyโworking for the Reich or marrying to produce strong, healthy children. After an interview with the civil service, Magda is assigned to the Berghof, Hitlerโs mountain retreat. Only after weeks of training does she learn her assignment: she will be one of several young women tasting the Fรผhrerโs 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 occupationโthough 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 Reichโs atrocities, draw Magda into a plot that will test her wits and loyalty in a quest for safety, freedom, and ultimately, vengeance.
