Histria Books is pleased to announce the release of Without Pity by Jacek Król. This novel is published by Histria Fiction, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding original works of fiction.
Without Pity is a powerful story of love, loss, and resilience set during one of history’s darkest chapters. September 1939: German tanks cross the Polish border. Seventeen days later, the Soviets invade from the east. Poland is torn apart—its freedom stolen, but not its spirit. As Nazi terror spreads, a resistance begins to form. The Polish Underground grows into the largest clandestine movement in occupied Europe. In the shadow of roundups, executions, and death camps, ordinary citizens risk everything to fight back. And somehow, even in the midst of devastation, life refuses to give in.
Through vivid storytelling and careful research, author Jacek Król offers a powerful narrative about the resilience of ordinary people living under extraordinary circumstances. Born and raised in a communist country and working inside the system based on maintaining and perpetuating secrets, honed Król’s sensitivity for uncovering suppressed truths and spotting false narratives.
