Surrendering to the Russians is Wehrmacht Leutnant Johann Hauser’s only option. Then he hopes for a fast end of World War II.
But once the war ends, his ordeal doesn’t.
Whisked away into the vast lands of the Soviet Union, he and his comrades cling to life by a thin thread. The fighting never stops, but their new enemies are hunger, cold, and exhaustion.
Every passing day is a cycle of hope and disappointment with one single goal in mind: staying alive.
When fate in form of the Soviet system throws him one drawback after another, can Johann maintain enough strength to survive and ultimately return home?

USA Today Bestselling author of historical fiction.
Her books are filled with raw emotions, fierce loyalty and perpetual resilience.
She loves to put her characters through the mangle, making them reach deep within to find the strength to face moral dilemma, make difficult decisions or fight for what is right. And she never forgets to include humor and undying love in her books, because ultimately love is what makes the world go round.
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.
