"In 1943, Magda Ritter's parents send her to relatives in Bavaria to keep her safe from the Allied bombs strafing Berlin. Young German women are expected to do their duty, working for the Reich or marrying to produce strong, healthy children. After an interview with the civil service, Magda is assigned to the Berghof, Hitler's mountain retreat. Only after weeks of training does she learn her assignment: she will be one of several women tasting the Fuhrer's food, offering herself in sacrifice to keep him from being poisoned. High in the Bavarian Alps, the Berghof seems worlds away from the realities of battle. Though terrified at first, Magda becomes used to her dangerous occupation, although she knows better than to voice her misgivings about the war. But her love for a conspirator within the SS and her growing awareness of the Reich's atrocities draw Magda into a plot that will test her wits and loyalty in a quest for safety, freedom, and, ultimately, vengeance."--,Provided by publisher.
