Inhaltsangabe

What if the two most ruthless mass murderers in the world wanted you dead?

Giorgi Lazarov is just a young boy, but he has a very special ability. He can predict the future. Until recently, no one knew that Giorgi’s remarkable gift was passed down to him from his famous grandfather, Grigori Rasputin. But now, the two most dangerous men on earth are aware of his special power. Adolf Hitler learns of him through SS Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler’s most gifted witch, and Joseph Stalin discovers him when an insane prostitute languishing in an asylum claims to have borne Rasputin’s child.

Now, as the Nazi war machine invades the Soviet Union, launching the bloodiest conflict in human history, both Hitler and Stalin want the boy desperately. They send their most capable operatives to find him and either claim his powers for their cause or make certain that he does not live to help their enemy. When the Germans capture his village, Giorgi finds himself in a world of madness and utter evil where it seems there are only killers and corpses.

Giorgi is not alone; he has two unlikely helpers: Otto Brock, a German war hero, and Zoya Levonskaya, a Ukrainian peasant woman. Both have lost everything they care about to the war. Everything, that is, except for Giorgi.

The people of Ukraine see no hope for salvation, but Giorgi can see everything . . .
