A Gripping Story of Survival, Friendship, and the Hidden Scars of war

During World War II, two mixed-race Allied soldiers, Sonny and John, live a dangerous double life, concealing their ethnicity from both their fellow soldiers and the Nazis. If discovered, this secret would mean instant execution by their captors. Separated by battle but united by fate, Sonny and John are captured—one in Belgium, the other in Italy—and eventually meet in a brutal POW camp near the Russian Front.

Their nightmare is about to deepen. The men are transferred to the notorious Berga camp, where the Nazis' chilling policy of Vernichtung durch Arbeit—"Annihilation Through Labor"—condemns prisoners to a slow death of backbreaking work, starvation, and relentless cruelty. Amid the horror, Sonny’s vivid tales of holiday feasts and his promises of better days become a fragile thread of hope for the men around him.

The two soldiers form a bond strong enough to withstand not only the brutality of their captors but also the racial prejudices that pervade their own ranks. Their friendship is tested again when, soon after the war, an unexpected visitor arrives on a quiet Christmas morning at Fabyan Place. The mysterious guest brings with him secrets from the past—secrets with the power to reignite old traumas and challenge everything Sonny believes about survival, forgiveness, and the true cost of war.

Fabyan Place is a haunting exploration of the physical and psychological scars left by war, and a powerful reminder that even the deepest wounds may never fully heal. This novel will captivate fans of historical fiction, leaving them breathless and questioning the boundaries of friendship, loyalty, and redemption.

For those who seek a story with heart, history, and a resonant message about the human condition, Fabyan Place promises to be an unforgettable journey.
