A chance to prevent the rise of Hitler... but at what cost?
Adiel Goldstein has a good life. Despite the anti-Semitism he faces as a German Jew, he has everything he wants. A dream job as an art professor, good friends, a loving father, and a precious nine-year-old daughter, Kaia. But his life is about to be upended. An old comrade from his time fighting in the Great War is gaining power: a man named Hitler. Adiel's father insists that they need to leave the country before Hitler becomes the leader of Germany.
Adiel and his family plan to move to America, but before they can even pack their bags, he and Kaia make a shocking discovery. Adiel's father, Natan Goldstein, is from the future. A Holocaust survivor who lost his family to unspeakable tragedy, Natan was given the chance to go back in time and take the life of Adolf Hitler. But when Natan failed to kill the future Fhrer, he devoted himself to his new family and awaited the inevitable.
Natan can't face the Holocaust again, but Adiel's unique connection to Hitler means he might be able to succeed where his father failed. Adiel now has a choice: escape as planned and let history repeat itself, or sacrifice everything to stop the Holocaust before it can begin.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Are you looking for a gut wrenching read that will make you so angry you want to kill someone? A book that is sad and devastating and yet also hopeful and at times a joy to read? This book brings ALL the feels! With wonderful characters, excellent writing, and a story arc for the ages, you will not want to put this one down."- Goodreads reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The characters within the story are all intriguing and complex. A few of them we know of through history, but the author makes us think a lot deeper about them. Anyone who knows anything about WWII will undoubtable know the names Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler, but the fictional twists to their characters within the story is very interesting...This book is exciting, emotional, and fantastically written. I love how Elyse pushes the boundaries with her stories, twisting subjects in a way that I've never seen before, and she has easily become on of my favourite authors because of it. "- Goodreads reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If you had the chance to travel back in time, where would you go and what would you do? When holocaust survivors Becca and Natan find themselves in this situation they decide to travel back in time and kill baby Hitler. There will be no war. No death camps. Their friends and family will not have been murdered. The thing is, it is a one way journey and they must live their lives going forward in this alternate timeline...I was absolutely sold on this book from the synopsis and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. The writing pulled me in completely."- Goodreads reviewer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Whenever somebody mentions time travel one of the first questions that comes up is if you could go back in time would you kill Hitler. In Adiel and the Fuhrer that is pretty much the situation we are faced with. Great characterisation as usual from this author, also great writing in in general."- Goodreads reviewer
