"Wild and gorgeous, vivid and consuming. I loved it I can't wait for the sequel." --Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy
Her story begins on a train.
The
year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan
rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, they host the Axis Tour: an
annual motorcycle race across their combined continents. The prize? An
audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball in
Tokyo.
Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much
suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant
reminder of the loved ones she lost. The resistance has given Yael one
goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human
experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her
mission by impersonating last year's only female racer, Adele Wolfe.
This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele's twin brother,
and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's
every move.
But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can
she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true
to her mission?
From the author of The Walled City comes a fast-paced and innovative novel that will leave you breathless.
