About this listen
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.
The story is solid but in places it veered off from the character arcs and got bogged down with technical aspects that had obviously been well researched, but which felt jarring (maybe that was the point).
The best parts of this book, as always, were in the way the author captures love and hope in perilous circumstances. The things people will do for love. The different forms of love. All against the brutal backdrop of war and loss. However there are parts of the book where you have to step out of the story and choose to suspend belief before moving on.
The author has already written one Bronze Horseman, she doesn't need to write another, and she hasn't. But don't let that put you off. it is still a good read and a story that will stay with you for a while, just perhaps not forever.
