New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Jennifer Donnelly continues her Rose Petals series -- new stories set within the world of her beloved Tea Rose saga.
France, 1918. Private Charlie Bristow -- the son of Joe and Fiona Bristow -- is sent alone through enemy-held territory on an impossible mission across occupied France. His only contact on the other side is a French agent who is nothing like the person he expected to find.
The two mount an audacious deception against a German colonel whose battle plans put thousands of lives in peril. In the process, Charlie finds something he never looked for -- but the war will not let him keep.
A Company of Shadows is about the courage of ordinary people in impossible circumstances, the love that war gives with one hand and destroys with the other, and what it costs to carry the dead. For readers of the Tea Rose saga, it is also the story of what happened to Charlie Bristow -- and why Fiona's struggle to save her son is the hardest battle she has ever fought.
