Set in one of the darkest times in history, this is a story about a strange, deep love that emerges between two unlikely souls. Artemis Theotoki is young, impulsive and probably not someone you'd want to mess with. When her little Greek island is captured by the enemy, she sets out on an ambitious quest to regain their independence and shoot a few people along the way. Cedric Müller is a tough German officer with a kind heart. He's the image of the perfect German soldier but has his own doubts about the side he's fighting for. While trying to hold the island, he tries harder to resist falling for that blue-eyed girl who keeps creating all sorts of trouble for him. But will their love fall prey to sorrow and betrayal or is it true that what is forged in fire doesn't wither in the sun?

Sara is the temperamental, quick-to-judge daughter of an upstanding Protestant family in the countryside of Cologne. To her, the war has always seemed a far-away nuisance. That is, until a warm night in the summer of 1944, when a jarring dose of reality is dumped upon their doorstep: young, fraught, and Jewish. Enter Benjamin Jastrow, the child of an old family friend and the new and indefinite resident of the Fleischers' attic. He is violently shy, coping with various stages of post-traumatic stress, and can hardly form a sentence without stammering—a nearly perfect opposite of the blustering Sara, who positively abhors his presence in her home. But for better or worse, they are the most important people in each others lives, and everything they thought they understood of their world will soon change forever.
