Hiding out in a cave in the Austrian Alps with three others, Monika runs into trouble. Pursued by vengeful forces of the Wehrmacht and the Gestapo, she and her three companions undergo an arduous journey over the mountains to safety in a Catholic monastery outside the town of Hallein, near the German border.

Meanwhile, Sarah is in Berlin, arranging with some of the highest-ranking German generals to assassinate Hitler and end the war. After being denounced by the local block warden, she is pursued through the streets and over the rooftops of Berlin. She will have to use all her skills to escape with her life.

In France, Oliver is again pressed into service by an increasingly desperate German Army, as they try to stem the tide of the invading Allied forces after D-Day. Unaware that he is working for the Americans, Oliver’s new comrades engage the invaders in Caen, the key to winning the battle of Normandy. Oliver will find himself faced with an impossible choice: to save the men around him or to fight for what he sees as the greater good, and help the Allies win.

After being sent to Austria, Sarah will reunite with her beloved cousin Monika on a mysterious new mission. The two women must piece together a deadly puzzle and uncover a startling new weapon that could alter not only the war but also the future of humanity itself.
