East London, 1942: With the men at war, can the women of the East End band together to defend their loved ones, their city and their country?

Chestnut-haired Corporal Effie Weston has grit beyond her twenty years. Determined to do her duty, she has joined up to the Women's Auxiliary Air Force to defend London's East End from the Blitz. She and her new friends Alice, Nell and George know their work is as vital as any man's. They must rely on every bit of their training - as well as each other - to face the dark days of war.

Working together, their friendship helps them to carry on as the air raid sirens wail nightly over the city. In the middle of all the chaos, Effie is not looking to give her heart away. But when a chance encounter on a station platform throws her into the path of handsome Flight Officer Nathan Fitzgerald, she's stunned by the warmth in his kind eyes and the spark it ignites in her. Their connection only deepens the more time they spend together.

When her parents object to her relationship with Nathan, Effie is heartbroken. Grasping every scrap of courage she can, she dries her eyes and resolves to fight for her happily ever after with the man she loves. But her world shatters when Nathan's plane is shot down over France, and he's declared missing in action.

Can Effie's friends help her hold onto the hope that Nathan will return from the front? Or will her bright chance at happiness be lost in the turmoil of war?

First in a new page-turning and heartbreaking romantic wartime saga series about love and friendship. Perfect for fans of Katie Flynn, Rosie Goodwin and Lizzie Lane.
