"Germany, 1918
Four years of fighting have finally ended, and though there is little to celebrate in Germany, an undercurrent of hope swells in the bustling streets of Munich. Hope for peace, fairness -- the possibility of a better tomorrow.
It's a dream come true for Annaliese Duray. Young and idealistic, she's fighting on the front lines of Munich's political scene to give women and the working-class a voice in the new government. But she's caught off guard by the arrival of Christophe Brevht, a family friend who's been sent to bring her home.
That's the last place she wants to go.
Christophe admires Annaliese's passion. Since returning from the war, he's not sure he'll ever believe in anything so deeply again. Yet he can't help but wonder if she's abandoned the faith she once cherished for a system of beliefs she doesn't truly understand.
As the political upheaval ignites in Munich, so does the attraction between Annaliese and Christophe. When an army from Berlin threatens everything Annaliese has worked for, she and Christophe face choices that could jeopardize their loyalty, their love, and their very lives."
