The brand new historical novel based on a true story from the bestselling author of The Rose Code and The Alice Network.
Goodreads Choice Awards Winner: Best Historical Fiction 2022
In the snow-covered city of Kyiv, aspiring historian Mila Pavlichenko revolves around her young son – until Hitler's invasion of Russia changes everything. Suddenly, she and her friends must take up arms to save their country from the Führer's destruction.
With a rifle in hand, Mila discovers a talent – and months of blood, sweat, and tears transform the young woman into a deadly sharpshooter: the most lethal Nazi hunter.
But success is bittersweet. Mila is pulled away from the eastern front battlefields and sent to America while the war continues. There, she finds an unexpected ally in First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and an unexpected promise of a different future.
However, when an old enemy from Mila's past connects with a terrifying new adversary, she finds herself in her deadliest duel yet.
Diamond Eye is a haunting tale of heroism born from despair, of a mother who became a soldier, a woman who found her place in society, and who changed the course of history forever.
