About this book
It is 1956 and the Third Reich of Germania and Imperial Japan rule the world. To celebrate their victory in World War II, they host the Axis Tour, a motorcycle race across their continents, where the winner is awarded an audience with Adolf Hitler at the Victor's Ball. Death camp survivor Yael, who was subjected to cruel experimentation, is determined to use her shapeshifting ability to win the race and get close enough to Hitler to kill him. This is her only chance and she is playing a dangerous game. Can she fool everyone into thinking she is someone else entirely to achieve her goal?
The first in a two part series, this thrilling page turner, featuring a strong female protagonist, cleverly tweaks history to create a really compelling read.
