In the rolling hills of upstate New York, KC Matthews dreams of a quiet life on the family farm—until sudden loss and the gathering storm of war shatter everything he holds dear. Enlisting as a B-17 ball turret gunner, he carries his grief into the deadly skies over Europe.

Shot down over Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia, KC is hurled into a brutal world of resistance and survival. There, amid the shadowed forests and desperate partisan fight against the Ustaše and Nazi terror, he meets Lepa Kostić— a fierce young medic and fighter whose courage and defiance are inspired by the real-life heroics of seventeen-year-old freedom fighter Lepa Radić.

One unintentional touch. One shared glance in the darkening forest. A spark kindled in the unlikeliest of places.

As the partisans melt back into the shadowed forests of Kozara, KC is drawn into the heart of the resistance. But in a land where every step could mean capture or death, the war is only beginning—and some connections refuse to be forgotten.

A sweeping novel of love, sacrifice, and hope born from the ashes of war, An Unlikely Ending is the first book in a powerful duology inspired by actual events of World War II in Yugoslavia. Some endings are more unlikely—and more unforgettable—than anyone could imagine.
