A Priest’s Courage. A Town’s Redemption. Moral Courage in the Shadow of the Third Reich. In a Bavarian village gripped by Nazi tyranny, an American priest’s faith will be tested like never before. Father Viktor Koch has spent the war quietly ministering to his parish, keeping their faith alive under the watchful eyes of Nazi authorities. But as Germany crumbles in 1945, a shocking discovery thrusts the village into a moral crisis. A mass grave of concentration camp victims lies on the village’s border. When American liberators demand justice, the commander gives the villagers an impossible choice: unearth and bury the dead within 24 hours—or face mass execution. With time running out, Father Viktor must summon extraordinary courage to protect his people. But can he convince the Americans of the villagers’ humanity, or will the legacy of Nazi atrocities condemn them all? Inspired by true events, The Sower of Black Field is a poignant and gripping historical novel of resilience, faith, and redemption.
