"Jesper was just a boy when the Nazis occupied Denmark. But he has grown up quickly. He has seen friends die. He has seen others betrayed. He has learned to fire a rifle, commit an act of sabotage, kill an enemy soldier.

Now known only by his code name, Kris, Jesper has become a dangerous fighter for freedom. A member of the Danish resistance, he has gone underground to protect his family. If he is caught, he will be tortured and killed.

He is afraid of dying. But he will never give up."
