Summary

London has been ravaged by war for three years now, and life couldn't be tougher for those living on Lavender Road. Many loved ones have been lost, and sacrifices have been made, but Lady Helen de Burrel is about to take the biggest risk yet. 

Inspired by the courage of her friends on this south London street, Helen volunteers to join the Special Operations Executive and so put her life in jeopardy for the sake of her country. But it's hard to know whom to trust, and when her heart is on the line, even love becomes dangerous. 

The war has changed everything, but one thing is certain: the women of Lavender Road will rally together, no matter what the future has in store.
