✦ Synopsis

A cold numbness had settled upon me the moment Mr Chamberlain had begun to
speak. I’d been praying for a last-minute miracle. For Stalin to change his mind, for the
Americans to intervene, for Hitler to fall under a train . . . anything. Now I understood
how stupid I’d been. Sophie FitzOsborne and the royal family of Montmaray escaped their
remote island home when the Nazis attacked. But now that war has come to England and the
rest of the world as well, nowhere is safe. Sophie fills her journal with tales of a life
in wartime. Stories of blackouts and the Blitz. Dancing in nightclubs with soldiers on leave.
And desperately waiting for news of her brother Toby, last seen flying over enemy territory.
But even as bombs rain down on London, hope springs up in surprising places, and love blooms.
And when the Allies begin to drive their way across Europe, the FitzOsbornes take heart. Maybe,
just maybe, there will be a way to liberate Montmaray – to go home again at last. Sometimes
heart-stopping, sometimes heart-breaking, Sophie’s story will, as always, capture readers’
hearts.
