The war has ended-but peace is far from certain.

1946. In the heart of postwar Paris, Mueller reunites with Frances-now pregnant-and finally confesses his love. They begin dreaming of a future together, one far removed from the horrors they’ve both endured. But building a new life won’t be easy.

Germany lies in ruins. Once-great cities have been reduced to rubble. Food is scarce. The people are weary. The harvest of 1946 offers little hope. As the world watches, those responsible for Nazi atrocities are being brought to justice. And Mueller, a former U-boat Kapitän, is called to serve at the Nuremberg Doctors Trial.

At Schönen Felder, the quiet refuge Mueller and Frances hoped to create is threatened-not only by roaming misfits and opportunists in a broken land, but also by the lingering traumas of war and the emotional scars they each carry. With the weight of justice, duty, and love pressing on their shoulders, their greatest battle may still lie ahead.

Will their love be strong enough to heal the past-and build a future?

Book 3 in the War-Torn series delivers a powerful conclusion to a story of resilience, love, and redemption. For fans of The Nightingale and All the Light We Cannot See.
