The Allies have lost the war. There is nothing left to stop the German reign of power. War prisoners suffer in work camps, whilst the few who escaped struggle to survive. After a German search party raids his camp, Solus, a fifteen-year-old boy, must do what he must to survive.
If he wants to save the ones he loves, he needs to be willing to sacrifice everything.
The Nobody is a story of love and war that will show you just how far a boy is prepared to go when the faith of the world and the lives of your loved ones hang in the balance.
