Produktbeschreibung

She fled the enemy with only a knife, a map, and a promise...

In the brutal winter of 1944, sixteen-year-old Marianne knows the Russian army is closing in on her East Prussian village. Rumors of atrocities are growing louder each day. Determined not to become another victim, she disguises herself as a boy and escapes westward-alone, starving, and terrified.

What follows is a harrowing journey through war-torn landscapes, where Marianne faces hunger, cold, danger-and the unthinkable. Her only hope is a promise made to her childhood friend Ferdinand, who also fled eastward, hiding from both armies. As Europe collapses around them, each clings to the faint dream of reunion.

Told with raw emotion and historical accuracy, Fugitives of the Eastern Sky is a powerful coming-of-age story about love, survival, and finding humanity in the darkest of times. Based on real events, this gripping novel reminds us that even in war, hope can still bloom.

Autorenporträt

Werner Stejskal is a romantasy storyteller who believes that love and imagination belong together. He only recently began writing in the genre but quickly became addicted to creating heartfelt tales where romance meets fantasy.

Rather than long sagas, Werner prefers stories under 10,000 wordstales that move straight to the heart without unnecessary fillers. His stories often draw on the atmosphere of Turkish soap operas, blending romance, fantasy, and emotion into short but powerful narratives. Most importantly, his characters always find their way to a hopeful and positive endingbecause stories should let us dream.

Werner was born in Vienna, Austria, and immigrated to Australia with his family in 1987. Now retired, he enjoys the serenity of the Australian lifestyle, which gives him the peace and inspiration to write.
