January 1945.
Western Poland.
Three very different people are at the start of their individual, life-changing journeys.
Anja Köhler, the daughter of a high-ranking Nazi official and proud German citizen, is slightly apprehensive about moving to Finland with her family. Blind to the true situation of a now-crumbling Germany, she doesn't quite understand the reasons behind why they're leaving in the first place.
Leib Abramovich, an unofficially-declared Jewish orphan living under the alias Adolf Eilert, nervously counts the seconds between now and the long road to freedom in neutral Sweden. Traveling alone by train, he is full of worry as to what his fate may be if his fellow passengers find out who he truly is.
Józef Drzyzga, the revenge-driven son of a once-prestigious Polish politician, tentatively works to destroy Germany's lifeline of supplies in hopes of winning his country back once and for all. He's been tightly held under Germany's grasp for long enough, and without his sacrifice, he knows that the chances of seeing his family again are very slim.
Three different people,
Three different perspectives,
Three different stories.
One accident pulls them all together.

But when she unwittingly promises to hide two Jews in a home she does not have, Celina must journey across Europe with these strangers in search of lady who might be able to rescue them. They are filthy, they are broken, and Celina cannot seem to control the hatred burning inside her. Together they travel town to town, witnessing each cities own branch of horrors, even hiding in basements of strangers.

As they dodge bullets, stumble upon an injured enemy pilot, and attempt to escape the hands of the Germans naming them fugitives, Celina must learn to face what she has been too terrified of her entire life. ***Edited by the lovely @jgfairytalesComplete

Blood Doesn't Lie
He fell through time with nothing but his name and a rifle. Now, in the heart of war-torn Germany, he's the Young Wolf-silent, precise, deadly. Bruno Wolf never fit in back home. Mocked for his accent, left behind by a country that took his family's land and gave nothing in return, he never imagined he'd find belonging in a war-torn past. But when the Wehrmacht takes him in, and an American officer begins to hunt him with relentless fury, Bruno must become what the world believes he already is. As loyalty tangles with identity and blood is spilled on every side, one truth remains: You can change your name. You can bury your past. But blood doesn't lie.
