Paris 1940 Recently widowed, Adèle Bélanger is determined to indulge in the pleasures of Parisian society, despite her family's disapproval. Even the German boots marching down the Champs-Elysées cannot keep her from the gaiety of the lavish soirees and decadent restaurants. In contrast, her twin sister Sophie, a third-year medical student, works tirelessly at the hospital. Sophie has no news of her fiancé who had been on the front lines. She has no tolerance for a sister who consorts with the German occupiers. When their younger brother becomes involved in the resistance, the two sisters’ lives are changed forever. Adèle and Sophie find the loyalty to their family and country tested as their entire world plunges into chaos. One wrong word, one unearthed secret and these two sisters could lose each other… and everything they thought they were fighting for.

1942 France and occupied Europe groan under the weight of the German yoke. Sophie Bélanger, grieving the deaths of her brother and friends, has questions nobody has answers to. She cannot stand on the sidelines and gets increasingly involved in helping save those on the run, be they downed airmen or Jewish children, until she is forced to flee to the non-occupied zone. There, her medical skills take her to the French camp of Rivesaltes, until one day her luck runs out. The death of her brother at the hands of the Germans makes Adèle Bélanger shed her socialite pretensions. She draws on an unexpected, inner well of courage to help her avenge her brother’s death. Her ambition is to rid her country of the German occupiers. Trained by the SOE to set France ablaze, she in turn trains maquisards in guerrilla warfare, despite the horrendous cost to innocent civilians. Will the decisions the twin sisters make lead to love or annihilation?
