The resistance movement has developed into a powerful force which, in the highly tense climate, is committing terrorist acts against vital German interests. As the fortunes of war turn, public reprisals against all collaborators and Danish women with German boyfriends are increasing. With Mille incarcerated at Gestapo headquarters and Inger exiled in Sweden, Maia finds herself completely alone with all bridges burned behind her. Lieutenant Hermann Ahlenfelt, father of her unborn child, is now missing on the Russian front, and Maia risks being branded a ‘German tart’. Falling in love with the wrong man at the wrong time has had ruinous consequences on Maia’s life. Pregnant and alone she is forced into hiding and faces a harrowing, unpredictable future.
