As the bombs rained down on Paris, my family fled before the Nazis could take us. I never thought I’d see my beloved home again. But I’ve come back to fight for the people I love. And now, I’m the last agent standing. The freedom of the world rests on my shoulders. Paris, 1940. As Nazi soldiers march down the Champs Elysees, Noor’s heart is shattered. Her family is forced to flee their home to the safety of England, and as Noor watches the French coast disappear in the distance, she vows to do everything she can to stop Germany from devouring her beloved country. Training as a wireless operative in England, Noor’s perfect French makes her the ideal candidate for undercover work in her beloved Paris, and she is soon assigned to an illustrious spy network led by a mysterious man named Prosper. Day after day, Noor walks the treacherous streets of Paris looking for safe places to broadcast messages to London. But Nazi officers lurk around every corner, and Noor’s heart thunders in her chest as she evades detection, tightly clutching the briefcase containing her radio equipment. She knows it would take just one stop and search for her life to be over. With each passing day her mission becomes more lethal as, one by one, her fellow agents are captured. Someone is betraying them, but who? And when Noor becomes the last agent in the network, can she keep the links with England alive, to help win the war? An utterly gripping and emotional World War 2 novel inspired by the incredible true story of Noor Inayat Khan, the first female radio operator sent by SOE into Nazi-occupied France. Fans of Suzanne Goldring, Ellie Midwood and Siobhan Curran will be swept away. Readers love Sharon Maas: ’Phenomenal... left me speechless. I loved everything about this... heartbreaking... unputdownable... had me reaching for the tissue box over and over... heart wrenching... needs to be at the very top of your ’to be read pile’. I highly recommend this ten star read.’ Page Turners, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ’I couldn’t put it down and finished it in a day... What an absolute cracker of a book!!!...

I read it holding my breath, I cried, I hated, I loved, I understood... I think I have gone through every emotion there is... swept me away and even writing this review I’m overwhelmed with emotions. If I could I would give it 10 stars.’ Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ’A masterpiece told so beautifully it had me enthralled reading late into the night... gripping and terrifying...
