Europe, 1945. The war is over. Justice is not.
Yael and Yotam, young operatives in a secret Israeli intelligence unit, are sent into the ruins of postwar Europe to find a Hungarian war criminal who has vanished without a trace. His victims number in the thousands. His trail has gone cold.
As they move through a continent scarred by loss and silence, the mission becomes more than a pursuit. Survivors carry secrets. Allies cannot be trusted. And the closer they come to their target, the more they must confront their own wounds—and the dangerous line between justice and revenge.
What began as a hunt becomes a reckoning with memory, loyalty, and the cost of moral choice.
Inspired by real events and honoring the legacy of Hannah Szenes—poet, paratrooper, and symbol of courage—Through the Rustling Water is a powerful historical espionage thriller about resilience, conscience, and the quiet heroism that endures after war.
