Kristian Bauer was raised on his grandfather's stories of honor and war, tales where the Waffen-SS were just soldiers and the past was something to be proud of. Then a freak storm sends him hurtling back to 1941, WW2 Germany. Fluent in German and trained to shoot, Kristian quickly adapts. Too quickly. He finds friendship, love... and enlistment. Now trapped in one of the most feared divisions of the SS, Das Reich, he must survive brutality, betrayal by the one person he trusted completely, and his own unraveling conscience...all with the knowledge of how the war ends...and what happens to members of the SS. The only light in Kristian's life is Lorelei, the woman who loves him and waits for his return. The one person who sees him for who he was, and not what the Reich demanded he become. The woman carrying his bloodline. Despite everything, Kristian believes his foreknowledge will save him. Even when he's captured and sent to the hellish Rhine Meadow POW camp, he thinks he can outsmart his enemy. But one small mistake and a sadistic Allied captain will determine Kristian's ultimate fate.

In the midst of WWII, two enemy soldiers struggle to survive. ------ Struggling to support his dementia-stricken mother and neglectful father, French-American Maurice Burdett is drafted into WWII and shipped out to a cold, isolated landmass called Attu island to take it back from the invading Imperial Japanese forces. After being left for dead in the heat of battle, Maurice forms a risky alliance with a person who could very well destroy them both: a conflicted enemy soldier, Isamu Maruyama. Laden down with stoic expectations and struggling to uphold his father's image, Isamu is deployed to Attu to invade the island as part of the war effort, ready to lay down his life- until, in a moment of panic, he deserts his comrades before their final stand. Stranded with no options left, he forms a tense alliance with Maurice in order to get back home. ------ (Marked mature for graphic imagery and strong language)
