He promised her forever. But what if forever means they cannot be together? 1961, East Berlin. Seventeen-year-old Stefan Franke, son of a wealthy mortician with strong ties to the German Democratic Republic's government, is living a comfortable life, oblivious to the oppression surrounding him. But when he discovers his family is helping cover up the GDR's crimes, he realizes his privilege comes at a heavy price. When Stefan meets Ella Kühn, a beautiful maid working for his family, he is immediately drawn to her fierce and independent spirit. The two become closer over their love of painting, but their social differences force them to keep their relationship a secret. Knowing his mother would never approve of Ella, Stefan will do anything to protect their budding romance. When a high-ranking officer preys on Ella during a dinner party, Stefan doesn't think twice before committing a heinous act. Sentenced to ten years of military service to pay for his crime, Stefan and Ella vow to keep their love alive. But as the weight of the years pulls them apart, is Ella still waiting for him? And after all that he has endured, is he still the man he promised her to be? From the bestselling author of The Berlin Girl Trilogy, The Berlin Soldier's Vow depicts the series' narrative from Stefan's perspective and is a poignant and heartbreaking story of love against all odds.
