The prize? An audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball in Tokyo.Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female racer, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele's twin brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move. The resistance has given Yael one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. To commemorate their Great Victory, they host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. Her story begins on a train.The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true to her mission?From the author of The Walled City comes a fast-paced and innovative novel that will leave you breathless.
While potentially confusing, the chronological shifts are well-integrated. However, she doesn't count on Felix, Adele's brother, accompanying her. Can Ya-el keep the secret of her true identity? And how did she develop the abilities that enable her deadly mission? These questions are answered by flashbacks interspersed throughout. She must win the race and assassinate Hitler at the victory dance. The ending feels rushed, crying out for the likely sequel.
