Germany, 1942
When a Messerschmitt crashes in the meadows outside her village, eighteen-year-old Gisela’s life changes forever. Drawn into a world on fire and divided loyalties, Gisela struggles with love and betrayal, resistance and survival, as the war closes in on her family.
As the Reich battles on and the Allies advance, Gisela must choose which promises to honor and which betrayals to forgive. News from the Eastern Front, the demands of resistance, and Gestapo searches test the already fragile bonds of family and friendship as the war grinds to its end and the fate of one family and an entire village hangs in the balance.
Sky on Fire is a heart-wrenching tale of duty, resistance, love, and the quiet acts of defiance that keep humanity alive in its darkest hour. As the first book in the No Man’s Land Series, it chronicles one young woman’s journey from innocence to unflinching courage in the face of war’s final reckoning.
Powerful, vivid, and absorbing, this is a perfect novel for readers who cherish the doomed loves and moral dilemmas of All the Light We Cannot See and The Nightingale.
