What to expect
It's 1944. The world is at war. Forces of evil hold Europe by the throat.
After a mysterious massacre at sea, a ragtag alliance forms in the heart of occupied Belgium. A handful of Allied soldiers band together with a fearless group of female freedom fighters led by Charlotte Fontaine to carry out a mission no one else can.
The target: unreachable.
The clock: ticking.
The consequences: apocalyptic.
Charlotte: Resolute, hardened by loss - she'll stop at nothing to save the one she loves.
Fletcher: Sharp as a blade, he never wanted to lead, but now he's the only one who can finish it.
Louise: Radiant. Innocent. She dreams of peace, but the war won't let her go.
Rafael: Rebellious, reckless, romantic-and brought to his knees by love.
With time running out, they're hunted by a brilliant and relentless German officer hellbent on their destruction. In a world on fire, it's the unbreakable bonds between the unlikely heroes that make all the difference.
From the master storyteller of The Bronze Horseman comes a thrilling, darkly funny, and heartbreaking epic of love, brotherhood, and sacrifice-when every heartbeat could be your last.
