" -Amazon Reviewer Esther Weiss has her whole life planned out. She is to be married to her wonderful fiancé Carl Bernstein, and their future together looks as bright and beautiful as the Austrian landscape. But when Hitler annexes her home country, everything changes. The wedding is postponed indefinitely, and the Weiss family's life is uprooted. When the treatment of Austrian Jews becomes unbearable, the family flees north. Their hope for safety in Oslo is short-lived when Hitler also invades Norway, and the Quisling puppet regime is put into place. Esther returns home one day to discover her entire family has been deported. Gone. Without a trace. Something inside Esther breaks; the soft-hearted, gentle girl transforms into a vengeful warrior. She joins the Norwegian Resistance movement and uses her blond hair and light eyes to procure a false passport; enough to grant her freedom - the freedom to kill. No German or Norwegian fascist is safe when Esther is nearby. Destroying those who took her family gives Esther a license to live, but it also hardens her heart and no one, not even Tore Ringdal-her protector in the Resistance-can break through the walls she has built around herself.
