Separati dalla guerra, a migliaia di miglia di distanza l'uno dall'altra, Saffron Courtney e Gerhard von Meerbach lottano per sopravvivere al conflitto che sta dilaniando l'Europa. Gerhard, ostile al regime nazista, è deciso a rimanere fedele ai propri ideali nonostante tutto e combatte per la madrepatria nella speranza di poterla liberare, un giorno, da Hitler. Ma quando la sua unità si ritrova coinvolta nell'inferno della battaglia di Stalingrado, si rende conto che le possibilità di uscirne vivo si affievoliscono di giorno in giorno.

La guerra è finita, Hitler è morto, eppure la sua eredità malvagia continua a prosperare. Saffron Courtney e suo marito sono sopravvissuti per miracolo al sanguinoso conflitto, ma Konrad, il fratello nazista di Gerhard, è ancora vivo. Ed è più che mai determinato a prendersi la rivincita e a tornare potente come prima. Così, mentre inizia un pericoloso gioco del gatto e del topo, prende forma un oscuro complotto contro la coppia… un complotto le cui ripercussioni attraverseranno tutta l'Europa.
