In When the Hunted Hunt, Ada, a young Jewish wife and mother, endures unimaginable horrors in two concentration camps during the Holocaust. Torn from her husband and children, she loses everything—family, friends, and hope. Surviving the brutal conditions, a death march, and the ravages of typhus, Ada emerges from the nightmare of the camps with a heart scarred by guilt, shame, and loss.

Determined to confront her past, Ada embarks on a mission to Argentina, infiltrating a Nazi network that has fled Europe. There, she encounters Karl, a notorious Nazi responsible for unspeakable atrocities. As Ada navigates a path of hatred and revenge, her emotional journey forces her to confront the darkest parts of herself.

Yet amidst the ashes of her past, Ada finds an unexpected future. She falls in love again with Allen, remarrying and building a new family. As Ada embraces the joy and love her new life offers, she reflects on the bittersweet truth that had she not survived the Holocaust, her new family would never have existed. This profound realisation reshapes her understanding of survival, loss, and the new life she treasures.

When the hunted hunt explores the raw emotions of survival, revenge, and redemption, and how love can emerge even from the darkest of experiences.
