Description

For Fans Of Band Of Brothers, Unbroken, And Beneath A Scarlet Sky—A Gripping WWII Story 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. 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 daring plan. The Tenth Trail Mark is a story of mountain warfare, quiet courage, and a love strong enough to light even the darkest ascent.
