Ludwig Beilschmidt, also known as Germany, is desperately trying to defend his country and people from the enemies just beyond their doors; World War II is being fought just out of reach. Obeying the desperate plead of a mother, he saves her teenage daughter, (Name), from an air raid. He takes her into his care, and does everything within his power to keep her existence from the Allied forces; she is his weakness. The Allies, however, have eyes everywhere.

When 17 year old Ana and her family moved to Germany she thought it would be just like all of the other times she had moved around, in aid of her step father’s career; a new country, a new language, a new school, and having to make brand new friends all over again. It was always the exact same situation which Ana had to endure. However this time around it seemed to be completely different, there was a different sort of feel to it, as if there was something more than just moving which she was about to experience, and she couldn’t understand why. But when Ana meets her new neighbour, does that feeling she had all of a sudden become a reality? Does it now start to make sense to her? Could this ‘new neighbour’ be the difference to all of the other times she’s moved? Or is it a welcoming, that brings unforgiving consequences?

Mona ist überhaupt kein Fußball Fan. Doch dann traf sie auf Mario Götze, den sie nicht kannte, dennoch ihr Leben komplett aus der Bahn wirft!

In Book I of the trilogy, Tamras, our hero, arrives in Merin’s house to begin her apprenticeship as a warrior, but her small stature causes many, including Tamras herself, to doubt that she will ever become a competent swordswoman. To make matters worse, the Lady Merin assigns her the position of companion, little more than a personal servant, to a woman who came to Merin’s house, seemingly out of nowhere, the previous winter, and this stranger wants nothing to do with Tamras. Tamras’s journey begins with the smallest of steps. She sets aside her disappointment and performs as well as she can the humble tasks given her, and eventually she succeeds in winning the trust and then the friendship of the cantankerous warrior to whom she has been assigned. In the first year of her journey, Tamras will make a series of choices that often seem insignificant, but they will flow from her character and from her good intentions, and they will determine her destiny.
