She fought for gold. Now, she fights for her life. Olympic champion Judith Rosner once had the world at her feet. But after Austria’s annexation by Nazi Germany, her victories no longer matter—only the fact that she is Jewish. Friends turn away, the Gestapo is closing in, and survival becomes her only goal. Hiding with a fearless woman who risks everything to protect the persecuted, Judith meets Koloss, a German deserter with nowhere left to run. But when the SS arrests their protector, the two must make a desperate escape. Their only hope? Switzerland—just across the treacherous waters of Lake Constance. But with patrol boats on the prowl and strict regulations on rowboats, the journey is nearly impossible. Will they find freedom—or will the lake claim them forever? A gripping WWII escape thriller for fans of Catherine Hokin, Kate Quinn, and Kristin Hannah.

Marion Kummerow was born and raised in Germany, before she set out to "discover the world" and lived in various countries. In 1999 she returned to Germany and settled down in Munich where she's now living with her family. After dipping her toes with non-fiction books, she finally tackled the project dear to her heart. UNRELENTING is the story about her grandparents, who belonged to the German resistance and fought against the Nazi regime. It's a book about resilience, love and the courage to stand up and do the right thing.
