The Tenth Trail Mark

FOR FANS OF BAND OF BROTHERS, UNBROKEN, AND BENEATH A SCARLET SKY -- THE TENTH TRAIL MARK IS A GRIPPING WWII NOVEL OF COURAGE, LOVE, AND SURVIVAL, INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS In the dead of night, Adirondack woodsman Johnnie Grey leads the legendary 10th Mountain Division up an ice cliff the Germans call unconquerable -- a linchpin of the brutal Gothic Line, their last great defensive barrier. One slip means oblivion. One victory could rip the German front wide open and help liberate Italy. Johnnie's survival instincts -- honed hunting through blizzards and the Great Depression to feed his family -- are his greatest weapon. But his heart belongs to Ellie, the West Virginia farm girl who slips a silver St. Andrew's Cross around his neck: a trail mark of love meant to guide him home. Now, under a relentless "ring of fire" artillery barrage, Johnnie must gamble everything on a wild, audacious plan. Inspired by true events, The Tenth Trail Mark is a blazing tale of mountain warfare, impossible courage, and a love strong enough to light even the darkest ascent. "Claustrophobic intensity... a blizzard shrinks visibility to inches as hellfire rains down." - Foreword Clarion Reviews What readers are saying: "Captivating from start to finish." "A deeply personal and meaningful read." Experience an unforgettable story of unbreakable courage. Order now and join Johnnie on the ascent.
