The Huntress is an epic and sweeping novel about World War II that sheds light on a dark corner of history, from the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Alice Network and The Gown. In the frigid confines of Soviet Russia, the daring and fearless Nina Markova joins the renowned Night Witches, an all-female night bombing regiment. Forced to land behind enemy lines, Nina must rely on all her cunning to survive an encounter with an implacable Nazi assassin known as the Huntress.
British war correspondent Ian Graham has abandoned journalism to pursue Nazi war criminals, but there is one target that eludes him: the Huntress. And Nina Markova is the only witness who has escaped her alive.
In post-war Boston, seventeen-year-old Jordan McBride grows increasingly suspicious of the cultured German widow who becomes her stepmother. As Jordan delves into the woman's past, she slowly realizes that she may be a Nazi assassin known as the Huntress.
The Huntress is a captivating and immersive novel that explores the lives of three individuals whose paths intertwine against the backdrop of one of the most devastating conflicts in human history. The author's meticulous research and vivid storytelling transport the reader to the Eastern Front, the underground resistance movements, and the hunt for war criminals in the aftermath of the war.
Nina Markova's journey from a small village in Russia to the elite Night Witches regiment is a testament to her resilience, courage, and determination. Her encounter with the Huntress, a ruthless and elusive Nazi assassin, propels the narrative and highlights the moral complexities of war.
Ian Graham's pursuit of the Huntress is driven by a personal vendetta and a desire for justice, but it also reflects the challenges faced by those tasked with bringing war criminals to account in the chaos of the postwar period. His character arc explores the toll that such a relentless quest can take on an individual.
Jordan McBride's story provides a compelling narrative thread that connects the past and the present, as she unravels the mystery of her stepmother's past and confronts the unsettling realization that she may be harboring a dangerous secret.
The Huntress is a masterful blend of historical fiction, suspense, and character-driven storytelling. The author's attention to detail and her ability to create vivid, three-dimensional characters make this novel a must-read for fans of historical fiction and those interested in exploring the lesser-known stories of World War II.
