A Little-Known True Story of Courage, Music & Survival in WWII

Tricia Goyer tells the little-known—but true—story of the orchestra started by prisoners in Hitler’s Mauthausen death camp. This courageous orchestra played the American national anthem as Allied troops arrived to liberate the camps.

Around the orchestra story, Tricia weaves the fictional stories of a beautiful member of the Austrian resistance, the American GI who loves her, and a young prisoner who fakes his way into the camp orchestra in a desperate attempt to stay alive.

Night Song is a gripping tale of music, courage, and survival in the face of unspeakable evil—a standalone novel in the Liberators WWII series.
