Behind the Chancellery Door 

(graphic novel, Part I)

Can a man remain himself when his entire life is a perfect mask — crafted by the most ruthless machine in history?

1936. Berlin at the height of its dark grandeur. Karl Berger — a model SS officer and trusted clerk at the Reich Chancellery. Yet behind his steely composure lies a secret: Karl is an “Aryan by error, ” whose origins were signed off by Himmler himself in service of higher intelligence goals. His world is one of ciphers, cold corridors of power and the covert network known as “U.S.U.K.”

Everything changes when he meets Leya. In a state where love is a political act and humanity a crime, their closeness becomes the only means of survival. But when Karl uncovers Leya’s file, he understands: the system has already raised its axe above them both.

This is a saga the length of a lifetime. From the dungeons of the Reich to a new life in America, the man now known as Murad Sardar seeks the answer to one question: how do you break the dictatorship inside yourself, when it gave you everything — except freedom?

Note: the graphic novel is written in Russian. Age restriction: 18+.
