Cologne, 1942. Seventeen-year-old Karin Blik breaks curfew on the night of the thousand-bomber raid and stumbles into a web that reaches back to Luxembourg and the father whose death was never truly explained. When a small act of courage draws the attention of the regime-most notably the charming but calculating Herr Gossen-Karin is offered answers, but at a price.
Armed with her grandmother's garden journal and a stubborn resolve, she navigates the treacherous loyalties of the BDM, the Hitler Youth, the Gestapo, and Cologne's street gangs, where truth is wielded like a weapon. As pressure mounts at school, rallies, and under the eyes of men who trade secrets for power, Karin must decide what she's willing to risk to uncover what happened in Luxembourg... and to survive what comes next.
