Vienna, 1938: All that was noble and beautiful, all the grace of an opulent era, gone with the winds of war!
And in the center of the growing holocause stood:
Christa — the beautiful, frivolous young mistress of Christina Hof whose flowering into womanhood was accompanied by the distant thunder of guns.
Herr Helmer — a national hero haunted by past wars and devoted to his spirited daughter.
Robert — who shared with Christa an idyllic childhood. Now his passions has grown — for her, and the Nazi regime he was ready to die for.
Josef — the sensual, brilliant Jew, whose anti–Hitler plot drew Christa into a maelstrom of terror.
Lan Condon — the peace–loving American who found respite from tragedy, and a love greater than he had known with Christa. He thrust himself into the cauldron of war to save them both from tyranny.
