Based on the true story of a forgotten hero, the USA Today and #1
Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic
tale of one young man's incredible courage and resilience during one of
history's darkest hours.
Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal
Italian teenager--obsessed with music, food, and girls--but his days of
innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by
Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape
over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his
senior.
In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a
German soldier--a move they think will keep him out of combat. But after
Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become
the personal driver for Adolf Hitler's left hand in Italy, General Hans
Leyers, one of the Third Reich's most mysterious and powerful
commanders.
Now, with the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High
Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by
fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna and for
the life he dreams they will one day share.
Fans of All the Light We Cannot See, The Nightingale, and Unbroken
will enjoy this riveting saga of history, suspense, and love.
