RoadtoRome
He was supposed to fight for the Reich. Instead, he fell in love with a woman who wanted to burn it down.
Leif Anderssen never asked to become a soldier. A quiet boy from Norway, drafted into the German army, he becomes a sniper by necessity-not conviction. But every shot fired leaves a scar deeper than the last, until the weight of obedience begins to collapse.
Then, in the shadows of occupied France, he meets Claire Dubois-a resistance fighter older, fiercer, and far more alive than anyone he's ever known. She doesn't ask for his trust. She earns it.
What follows is not a love story, but a reckoning. Leif deserts. They flee. The war follows. Across continents and battlefronts-from ruined cities to silent forests, from burning deserts to jungles soaked in blood-Leif searches not for glory, but for something far more dangerous: forgiveness.
Where the War Ends is a lyrical and unflinching novel about a soldier who turns against his past, a woman who teaches him to see beyond orders, and the cost of trying to remain human in a world that has forgotten how.
