Felcia Hodaks's vital botanical skills are the only thing keeping her away from the gas chambers.
Against the backdrop of Auschwitz-Birkenau's ever-present brutality, Felcia tends to the plants needed for one of the Reich's most ambitious experiments-one that could tip the war in favor of the Nazis.
When Sabina Kupka discovers the horrifying nature of her father's job at a coal mine run by Nazis, she agrees to work with an increasingly defiant resistance. What starts small but significant soon propels her into a frontline role-dangerous enough to cost her her life if caught.
Soon, both women are engaged in a daring plan to arm the prisoners of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The Botanist's Tracks*is the third installment in the Beyond the Tracks series and takes readers to the Nazi agricultural camp of Rajsko, a ten-minute ride from Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Based on actual events,*The Botanist's Tracks*is the first-ever book set primarily in Rajsko and shows the incredible ingenuity of prisoners in finding ways to rise against impossible odds.
