SYNOPSIS
Seven decades after German troops march into her village,
Céleste Roussel is still unable to assuage her guilt.
1943. German soldiers occupy provincial Lucie-sur-Vionne,
and as the villagers pursue treacherous schemes to deceive and swindle the
enemy, Céleste embarks on her own perilous mission as her passion for a Reich
officer flourishes.
When her loved ones are deported to concentration camps,
Céleste is drawn into the vortex of this monumental conflict, and the adventure
and danger of French Resistance collaboration.
As she confronts the harrowing truths of the Second World
War’s darkest years, Céleste is forced to choose: pursue her love for the
German officer, or answer General de Gaulle’s call to fight for her country.
Her fate suspended on the fraying thread of her will,
Celeste gains strength from the angel talisman bequeathed to her through her
lineage of healer kinswomen.
The decision she makes will shadow the remainder of her
days.
A woman’s unforgettable journey to help liberate Occupied France,
Wolfsangel is a stirring portrayal of the courage and resilience of the human
mind, body and spirit. [provided by the author]
