(The fifth book in the Timeless Spies series)
A novel by Hannah Byron
Survival was only the beginning.
A powerful dual timeline WWII historical fiction novel inspired by Nancy Wake, one of the most formidable female spies of the French Resistance.
France, 1940.
In Marseille, Nancy Wake’s world is closing in. Marriage offers no protection, and each mission within the fragile escape network carries greater risk. Every crossing, every decision, demands sacrifice—until survival itself begins to feel like a burden she cannot escape.
As the war tightens its grip, the cost is no longer measured in danger alone, but in what must be left behind.
London, 2010.
Aroha feels the same quiet fractures forming in her own life. Love strains under distance. Duty hardens into obligation. What once felt like a chosen path begins to feel imposed—and the future she imagined slips further out of reach.
As past and present move toward a shared breaking point, two women—separated by decades yet bound by the same inner reckoning—must confront what remains when everything else has been stripped away.
Perfect for readers of WWII historical fiction, female resistance stories, and emotionally rich dual timeline novels.
The Ace of Nerve, The White Mouse is the gripping second book in the Nancy Wake Trilogy—a story of endurance, loss, and the hidden cost of becoming who you are.
