Helen Fairfax knows sacrifice. A war widow and mother, she spends her weekdays ferrying planes across England while her young son stays behind with her parents. Determined to honor her late husband’s courage, she agrees to a mission that could turn the tide of war: fly into occupied Poland to retrieve a fallen V-2 rocket.
By her side is Leo Beck, a man desperate to atone for helping build the weapon now aimed at London. But their mission changes when local parents plead for help smuggling their children away from Nazi squads. To say yes means defying orders—and risking everything.
With every flight, Helen must choose between duty, compassion, and survival. Some battles are fought in the skies. Others are fought for the innocent.
