Vienna Prelude (Zion Covenant, Book 1)

Predating the events of The Zion Chronicles series, opens in pre-World War II Austria. Elisa Lindheim, a violinist with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, is of Jewish heritage but has adopted an Aryan stage name. Thus she is able to travel and play in Germany even though a 1935 law forbids Jewish musicians to do so. Her dear friend Leah, a cellist and her husband, Shimon, must escape Austria or perish in the coming Holocaust
