Summary

Guernica, 1937. When the bombers appear like a flock of birds over the horizon, Marina Helinger, 17, is enjoying market day in the small Spanish town of Guernica. With no warning, clouds of German planes are upon them and bombs fall on the town like rain. Reeling with shock, Marina spends the next few days frantically searching for her relatives in the smoldering rubble. Though she finds her little sister trapped in the ruins, she discovers her mother and the others are dead. Years later, while WWII rages, Marina and her sister are living with their father - an eminent scientist reluctantly working with the Nazis and a member of the undercover German resistance. Marina has grown into a beautiful young woman fueled by a dark rage. In short, she has grown into the perfect spy to join the resistance and fight back against those responsible for her mother's death.
