This book asks the question "What if Hitler had won World War II?" The answer is terrifying. Zara St. James is a 16-year-old girl who, like most citizens, is under the constant scrutiny of the Nazis. She is also yearning to be part of the rebellion hoping to overthrow them. However, the Nazis have been conducting experiments on prisoners and have crafted the "Anomalies"-genetic mutations resulting in humans with special powers. But Zara has a secret of her own that might prove to be the deciding factor for the rebellion's success. The plot is fast-paced and will appeal to both historical fiction and science fiction readers.
