The Hangman's Master (Project 613)

In a world torn by hatred, sixteen-year-old Stefan Harkel is cast out of his home and drawn to the Nazi Party's Brownshirt Unit. But when the Führer turns against his own during the Night of Long Knives, Stefan vows vengeance for those he lost. Stefan joins the anti-Nazi resistance, and his thirst for revenge takes him down an unexpected path: he is chosen as a warden in Hell, tasked with overseeing Zone N-1 and the soul of Reinhard Heydrich, a key architect of the Holocaust. However, he is not alone in this dark role; a ruthless Nazi seeks to seize control of the power within Hell for himself. As Europe’s fate teeters on the edge, Stefan must protect his charge from falling into the wrong hands, facing a battle that will determine the balance between good and evil. Elyse Hoffman crafts a gripping tale of redemption and resilience in the shadow of World War II. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A masterclass of historical fiction, in a way like no other. Absolutely jam packed with emotion and heartache from so many different angles. It also deals with the theme of revenge and punishment. Will your chosen punishments ever make you into the monster they were? Is there a difference between justice and revenge, and if so, where is the line?”– Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “An interesting and enjoyable historical book set during WW2.
