In her first-ever solo anthology, New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Cantrell demonstrates her award-winning skill with four wonderful stories—including the prequel to her Hannah Vogel series where Ernst Vogel explores the shadowy world of Weimar-era Berlin on the cusp of the Nazi rise to power as he investigates the murder of a young cigarette boy at his cabaret.

The collection also includes a journey through the wreckage of postwar Berlin in a search for hope, a fated meeting on a train to a concentration camp, and a supernatural warrior protecting a shtetl in wartime Czechoslovakia.
