From the New York Times best­selling author of Woman on Fire, the har­row­ing and ulti­mate­ly tri­umphant tale of a Jew­ish WWII assas­sin turned Hol­ly­wood star … 

The God­dess Of War­saw is an enthralling sto­ry of a leg­endary Hol­ly­wood screen god­dess with a dark secret. When the famous actress Lena Brown­ing is threat­ened by some­one from her war-time past, she must put her skills into play to pro­tect her­self, her illus­tri­ous career, and those she loves, then and now. 

Before she was a Liv­ing Leg­end”, Lena Brown­ing was Bina Blon­s­ki, a wealthy Pol­ish Jew whose life and promi­nent fam­i­ly were destroyed by the Nazis and impris­oned with the rest of War­saw’s Jews in a ghast­ly ghet­to. Deter­mined to fight back, the beau­ti­ful, blonde Aryan-look­ing Bina becomes a spy and an assas­sin, gain­ing infor­ma­tion and steal­ing weapons out­side the War­saw ghet­to to pro­tect her fam­i­ly and fel­low Jews. While Bina accom­plish­es amaz­ing feats of brav­ery, she sac­ri­fices much in the process – includ­ing a for­bid­den love. 

More than a decade after escap­ing the hor­rors of the war, Lena Brown­ing ris­es to fame in Hol­ly­wood. Yet she can­not help but hunger for revenge against the Nazis who escaped jus­tice after the war. Fierce and fear­less, Lena uses her star pow­er to right the past’s wrongs … and per­haps even find the hap­py end­ing she nev­er had.

A grip­ping page-turn­er of one of history’s most hero­ic upris­ings and a glam­ourous actress whose per­son­al war nev­er ends, The God­dess of War­saw is filled with secrets, lies, twists and turns, and a burn­ing pur­suit of jus­tice no mat­ter the cost.
