Vienna, early 20th century. Luciusz Krzelewski is a young man from an aristocratic Polish family. Unlike his brothers, who chose traditional noble occupations, he decides to become a doctor – but in the midst of his training in Europe, World War II breaks out. Enchanted by romantic tales of military surgery, he enlists in the army, expecting to be assigned to a well-organized field hospital.

But when Luciusz arrives at his duty station in the Carpathian Mountains, he discovers it's not a large hospital, but a makeshift one housed in an old wooden church, ravaged by a typhus epidemic. The surviving medical staff has fled, leaving only a nun, surrounded by a strange mystery. Luciusz turns out to be the only doctor for miles around, a surgeon, although he has never operated on anyone before. What happens at his duty station will forever change the lives of Luciusz and everyone close to him.

The Winter Soldier is a story of war and medicine, a novel about the search for love in the turbulent waves of European history, about the mistakes everyone makes, and about the precious chance to redeem them.
