Read by Myrto Stylou.

Corfu 1946. In a poor Greek community, ten-year-old Marco is perhaps the poorest of them all. But it wasn't always that way. His grandmother once worked for the royal family where Marco's mother played alongside young Prince Phillip himself. Now Greece is on the brink of civil war, and Marco's mother still clings to the desperate hope that somehow the royal family will save her own. As the war turns deadlier, Greece's Queen Frederica takes a defiant stand against the communists, announcing that she will save the children of Greece by opening children's villages. When the communist partisans erect camps of their own, children are ripped from their mothers' arms, entire villages are emptied. Young Katerina has been best friends with Marco for as long as she can remember, cementing their bond as Katerina steals scraps from her family's table to sneak to him. But when communists reach their village, loyalties are tested as devastating secrets threaten to emerge. Katerina and Marco are separated just before her family flees on foot. At their final goodbye, Katerina and Marco promise to find their way back to the village, and to one another. That haunting childhood vow setting into motion events that will take decades to unravel.
