Givry, Burgundy, 1943. In occupied France, Élise Gaillard, a seemingly quiet pharmacist, wages her own shadow war. False papers, silent acts of sabotage, erased identities - she helps Resistance fighters and Jewish families vanish from the reach of the Germans. But when a wounded British airman parachutes into her vineyard, everything changes. Hiding him is a direct challenge to the Gestapo, all the more perilous because he is Jewish and in possession of aerial photographs taken over a top-secret military complex in Germany.
To get this intelligence to London, Élise embarks on a journey strewn with traps, betrayals, and sacrifice. Hunted at every turn, each choice she makes could seal her fate. or hasten the fall of the Reich.
