'In June 1914, Louis and his brother Thomas are enjoying the European summer in a small town near Sarajevo. In the shadow of the assassination of the heir to the Austrian throne, the world erupts into war and Louis’ life changes forever. Old Europe is torn apart and Louis finds himself in the midst of his own battle – as fighting for the truth means that sometimes even your own side is against you. ' (Publication summary)

'In 1939, 12-year-old Sasha, inspired by the words of her father, feels she must find a way to stand up to Nazi terror. Hitler’s blitzkrieg results in the surrender of France and Sasha and her family flee Paris—learning first hand the brutality of war and how acts of resistance can make a difference. In their occupied country, fraternising with the enemy is frowned on, but necessary. It only gets more complicated when she meets Dieter, a member of the Hitler Youth and the son of her father’s best friend. How can Sasha know who to trust when the enemy becomes a friend?'
