Obaja bojujú o prežitie a jedinou oporou, ktorá im pomáha čeliť hrôzam nacistického režimu, je sila ich lásky. S každou novou skúškou sa však Genina nádej na opätovné stretnutie s Feliksom zmenšuje.

"Quando il futuro ti scivola tra le dita, è l'amore la tua ancora di salvezza. Ruby è distrutta. Dopo tutto ciò che hanno condiviso, James ha osato tradirla e l'ha delusa, tanto che lei non vorrebbe rivederlo mai più. Tuttavia, nonostante il dolore che lui le ha procurato, Ruby conforta James per la perdita della madre. Su un punto, però, è irremovibile: non è disposta a perdonarlo e a concedergli una seconda occasione. James si ritrova così in balia del padre, il quale pretende che lui si prepari a prendere le redini della Beaufort, l'azienda di famiglia, prima del tempo. Il futuro buio tanto temuto da James arriva dunque in anticipo, e la sua condanna è resa definitiva dalla lettera di accettazione a Oxford. Per Ruby, invece, la stessa lettera rappresenta il coronamento degli sforzi di una vita. Nondimeno, la gioia del momento è guastata dalla mancanza di James. Se da un lato, infatti, vorrebbe non averlo mai conosciuto e tornare a essere invisibile ai compagni di Maxton Hall, dall'altro non riesce a dimenticarlo. Soprattutto perché lui sta facendo l'impossibile per riconquistarla. Mentre odio e amore si contendono il cuore di Ruby, James sfodera tutto il suo fascino nel disperato tentativo di riottenere la fiducia della ragazza. Ma se anche ci riuscisse, Ruby verrebbe accettata dal terribile Mr Beaufort?'

Germany, 1660: When a dying boy is pulled from the river with a mark crudely tattooed on his shoulder, hangman Jakob Kuisl is called upon to investigate whether witchcraft is at play in his small Bavarian town. Whispers and dark memories of witch trials and the women burned at the stake just seventy years earlier still haunt the streets of Schongau. When more children disappear and an orphan boy is found dead--marked by the same tattoo--the mounting hysteria threatens to erupt into chaos. Before the unrest forces him to torture and execute the very woman who aided in the birth of his children, Jakob must unravel the truth. With the help of his clever daughter, Magdelena, and Simon, the university-educated son of the town's physician, Jakob discovers that a devil is indeed loose in Schongau. But it may be too late to prevent bloodshed. A brilliantly detailed, fast-paced historical thriller, The Hangman's Daughter is the first novel from German television screenwriter Oliver Pötzsch, a descendent of the Kuisls, a famous Bavarian executioner clan.

"Siete sicuramente i nostri nuovi vicini!" esclama la signora Lowell, agitando la mano oltre la staccionata. Stringo la mano di mia figlia e le sorrido, ma quando la signora vede mio marito, un'espressione strana le attraversa il volto. In quel momento, faccio una promessa: abbiamo finalmente una casa per la famiglia e il mio passato deve rimanere lontano. Un tempo pulivo le case degli altri, e ora non riesco a credere che questa casa sia davvero mia, con la sua cucina affascinante, il tranquillo vicolo cieco e il grande giardino per i miei bambini. Io e mio marito abbiamo risparmiato per anni per dare ai nostri figli la vita che meritano. Anche se sono diffidente nei confronti della signora Lowell, l'invito a cena è l'occasione per fare amicizia. La sua domestica, con un grembiule bianco e i capelli raccolti, mi fa rabbrividire con il suo sguardo gelido. Non è l'unica cosa strana nella nostra strada; vedo una figura ombrosa che ci osserva e mio marito esce di casa a tarda notte. Quando incontro una donna che vive di fronte, le sue parole mi gelano il sangue: "Fai attenzione ai tuoi vicini." Ho commesso un terribile errore a trasferire la mia famiglia qui? I miei segreti più oscuri potrebbero non essere così lontani, e questa tranquilla strada suburbana potrebbe rivelarsi il posto più pericoloso di tutti.
