Beneath a Scarlet Sky: A Novel

The upcoming television event from Pascal Pictures, starring Tom Holland, is based on the true story of a forgotten hero. The USA Today and #1 Amazon Charts bestseller Beneath a Scarlet Sky is the triumphant, epic tale of one young man's incredible courage and resilience during one of history's darkest hours.

Pino Lella, a normal Italian teenager obsessed with music, food, and girls, is forced to face the realities of war when his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents compel him to enlist as a German soldier, believing it will keep him out of combat. However, after Pino is injured, he is recruited at the tender age of eighteen to become the personal driver for Adolf Hitler's left hand in Italy, General Hans Leyers, one of the Third Reich's most mysterious and powerful commanders.

With the opportunity to spy for the Allies inside the German High Command, Pino endures the horrors of the war and the Nazi occupation by fighting in secret, his courage bolstered by his love for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior, and for the life he dreams they will one day share. Pino's days of innocence may be numbered, but his determination to survive and resist the Nazis' stranglehold on his country is unwavering.

Pino's story is a testament to the human spirit, a compelling narrative that explores the depths of courage, resilience, and the power of love to sustain us even in the darkest of times.
