As Josephine navigates the treacherous landscape of wartime espionage, she forms an unexpected alliance—and romance—with the enigmatic Gabriel, an undercover Allied agent. Their bond deepens amidst the chaos, but when Josephine sacrifices her freedom to ensure Gabriel's escape, she must confront the brutal realities of war alone.
