little things.

Born with beauty, wealth, and intellect in perfect measure, Helena Abramson had everything.

Her only flaw, if it could be called one, was that she was Jewish.

Nazi Germany, 1930s. Discrimination was everywhere.

Helena had lost everything to the Nazi regime. Her one goal was simple.

Live quietly. Survive.

"I will protect you with my life."

"So you're rejecting me because I'm Jewish? I don't care about that!"

Then two men walked into her life, uninvited.

"Miss Helena is smarter than anyone I have ever known."

One was the man she wanted: Vlak von Sponheim.

"I never believed in love at first sight. Now I do."

The other was the man who wanted her: Lucas Richter.

[The German citizenship of Jews is hereby revoked. Marriage between Jews and Germans is hereby forbidden.]

In a world where even love had become forbidden under the Nuremberg Laws, Helena chose to love one man.

Even if that love meant hell.
