London, 1940.
The Battle of Britain rages while Stella Bled sits frustrated on the sidelines. Her husband, Nicky, is unreachable as he risks his life flying in a Spitfire and she has to recover from her mission in France without her beloved Bijou or a single familiar face.
Stella isn’t exactly content to rest, but she has no choice until a mysterious set of orders arrives at Castle Caladh. Something isn’t right, but Stella’s eager to return to service and ends up at a meeting in the famous St. Ermin’s Hotel. That meeting will land in the history books, but Stella, clearly, wasn’t supposed to get through it unscathed. Someone wants her out of the SIS and they have the power to pull some very long strings.
As the Blitz begins, Stella juggles two roles. One as a secretary at the newly formed Special Operations Executive and the other as an ordinary volunteer at the Women’s Voluntary Service. The Nazi push to invade England is looming closer and the chatter in the SIS networks is getting louder. All Stella wants to do is get back to her chosen profession and fight the only way she can, but the enemy has other ideas. If it isn’t bombs from the sky, it’s betrayal on the ground. Like England, Stella has almost nothing left to give, but more will be required if she and the nation she loves is to survive some of the darkest days in history.
