From the New York Times bestselling author of Woman on Fire the harrowing and ultimately
triumphant tale of a Jewish WWII assassin turned Hollywood star. In 2005 Siena Hayes is
Hollywood's latest It Girl but she has her sights set higher than the screen she wants to be
behind the camera. So when Siena meets Lena Browning the enormously mysterious and famous
actor from decades past Siena sees her big break. Siena wants to direct Lena's biopic-but
Lena's past may turn out to be more than Siena bargained for. Before she was a Living Legend
Lena Browning was Bina Blonski a member of Warsaw's Jewish elite whose life and family were
destroyed by the Nazis. In 1943 in the ghettos of Warsaw Bina lives with her husband Jakub.
Determined to fight back against Nazi rule beautiful blonde Bina acts as a spy on the Aryan
side fearlessly protecting the remaining Warsaw Jews gaining intel and stealing weapons.
Along the way her feelings grow more complicated as she falls in love with Aleksander an ally
to her in resistance . . . and Jakub's brother. But the cause prevails-and Lena accomplishes
amazing feats of bravery though she can't help but sacrifice so much in the process . . . Over
a decade after escaping the ghetto Bina who now goes by Lena has risen to fame in Hollywood.
She sees her old life at every turn and hungers for revenge against the Nazis who are still
everywhere around her. This is Lena's chance to right the past's wrongs and perhaps even find
the happy ending she never had--
