Evie’s just there to win a gold medal in gymnastics, but soon she discovers that behind all the Olympic fanfare, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis have Berlin in an iron grip of terror and violence—and war is brewing. To help fight back, she joins in on a mysterious and dangerous plot to steal Nazi gold. But can Evie stand up to evil and follow her Olympic dreams?
