During World War II, on the steep slopes of 1943 Pelion, two sisters are caught in a web of dangerous secrets and intense passions. Angela, the eldest, carries the weight of grief after losing her two sons in the Albanian Front, while Marina, the youngest, nurses the wounds of a shattered love affair. But when the Nazis capture Italian soldiers, a daring escape leads Giovanni to seek refuge in the sisters' mansion. As danger lurks outside, Marina shelters Giovanni in the basement, unaware of the turmoil her risky decision will unleash. After all, Angela's heart brims with resentment towards the Italians, whom she blames for her boys' demise. Under everyone's nose, a forbidden romance blooms in the shadows of war, drawing Marina into a world of conflicting loyalties and unbridled passion. When Angela uncovers the truth, the sisters find themselves at a crossroads, torn between love and loyalty, in a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love.—Nick Riganas
