A gut-wrenching, startling historical thriller about communist Romania and the citizen spy network that devastated a nation, from the #1\u00a0New York Times<\/span>\u00a0bestselling, award-winning author of\u00a0<\/span>Salt to the Sea<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Between Shades of Gray<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Romania, 1989. Communist regimes are crumbling across Europe. Seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu dreams of becoming a writer, but Romanians aren’t free to dream; they are bound by rules and force.<\/p>\n

Amidst the tyrannical dictatorship of Nicolae Ceau\u0219escu in a country governed by isolation and fear, Cristian is blackmailed by the secret police to become an informer. He’s left with only two choices: betray everyone and everything he loves\u2014or use his position to creatively undermine the most notoriously evil dictator in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

Cristian risks everything to unmask the truth behind the regime, give voice to fellow Romanians, and expose to the world what is happening in his country. He eagerly joins the revolution to fight for change when the time arrives. But what is the cost of freedom?<\/p>\n

Master storyteller Ruta Sepetys is back with a historical thriller that examines the little-known history of a nation defined by silence, pain, and the unwavering conviction of the human spirit.<\/p>\n
