Full synopsis

Munich & Vienna, 1932

Aspiring opera singer Angelika Eder thought she had it all—a cultured life in Vienna, along with the guidance of her glamorous mother, a world-famous soprano. But when tragedy strikes and her mother dies amidst a swirling family scandal, eighteen-year-old Angelika finds herself uprooted to Munich, where civil unrest is rife and leaders of the increasingly powerful Nazi Party seek to use her voice as propaganda.

When a figure from her mother’s past offers Angelika the chance to study and sing at an elite Viennese university, she decides to fight for her dream while evading the vile Nazis she despises. But the Nazis aren’t relenting in their demand that Angelika support their party and sing for Hitler himself. Can Angelika find her voice and stand against evil, even if it means risking not only her dreams of fame, but also the safety of herself and everyone she loves?

Here's what readers have to say about this book....

Patricia Warren

Great read! I liked how the opera storyline was woven into the 1930s Germany setting, where everyone in the story was affected by the rise of Hitler.

The love story in this book was nicely woven into the journey of Angelika's life after the passing of her mother and the overall themes of the times. There were some events that occurred in the book that surprised me and I did not see coming, which made for a better read as it made the story unpredictable and me wanting to know what happens next! In some chapters, I actually gasped out loud as to what was happening! By the end of the book, I was emotionally invested in what happens to Angelika and actually cried! I'm pleased with how the story concluded, well done!
