From the bestselling author of the 'War Girls Series' comes a nail-biting story about Berlin sliding into the Cold War. The Third Reich has crumbled and Berlin is governed by the four victorious Allies. Werner Böhm, a German émigré to Moscow, returns to his hometown with the highest hopes for a better future. Sent by the communist party to bring freedom, wealth and happiness to the German people, he’s soon caught in a moral conflict between loyalty to his party and his ideals. When the woman he loves is in danger, can he take the plunge and defy the party line to save her life? Inspired by true historical events, From the Ashes is the unforgettable story of a tortured man, torn between his ideals, the iron fist of Stalinism and the woman he loves.

The ultimate struggle for supremacy over Berlin begins… … a stage-worthy walkout of the Soviet delegates from all four-power institutions sets the scene for the next step. On the world stage diplomatic relations are at a breaking point and the Soviet Union and the Western Allies face off in an unforgiving battle of ideologies. Are the Russians really willing to starve two million people in an attempt to push the Western Allies from Berlin? Presented with the fait-accompli of the Berlin blockade, cabaret singer Bruni von Sinner has not doubt about their sinister intentions. Not even the reassurances from Vladimir Rublev, a member of the Red Army Intelligence, who insists there’s no such thing as a besieged city, can convince her otherwise. Landlocked in the paw of the Russian Bear, she faces the choice of giving up her freedom or slowly starving to death. She and her compatriots have only one hope to stay alive – a supply run by air. But feeding a city of this size by air is simply impossible. The entire Operation Vittles reaches a breaking point when the weather turns bad and no more planes can land. Can the Americans and British win the race against time and develop the technology needed to fly through winter with snow, ice, mist and storms? And can the Victor Richards build a new airport for Berlin from scratch – with not much more than hungry workers and shovels? Because if he doesn’t, the woman he loves will have to live behind the Iron Curtain for the rest of her life. Based on the historical events of the Berlin Airlift, On the Brink takes you on a roller-coaster ride of hope, disappointment, determination and courage.
