But when a strange wind spirits her away from the Land of the Dolls, she finds herself in Krak w, Poland, in the company of the Dollmaker, a man with an unusual power and a marked past. \n \nThe Dollmaker has learned to keep to himself, but Karolina's courageous and compassionate manner lead him to smile and to even befriend a violin-playing father and his daughter--that is, once the Dollmaker gets over the shock of realizing a doll is speaking to him. \n \nBut their newfound happiness is dashed when Nazi soldiers descend upon Poland. Karolina and the Dollmaker quickly realize that their Jewish friends are in grave danger, and they are determined to help save them, no matter what the risks.\n
