About this listen

In the heart of war, love is the deadliest weapon. A thriller and epic love story from the bestselling author of Tully, The Bronze Horseman and Light at Lavelle.

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.©2025 Paullina Simons (P)2025 W. F. Howes ltd.
