Description
In 1939, Paris was plunged into darkness as Nazi soldiers invaded the city. For Lila de Laurent, this meant the end of her career as a haute couture dressmaker at Maison Chanel. Yet in hidden corners of the city, the faithful pledged to resist. Lila's skills were soon put to use infiltrating the Nazi elite, taking their measurements and designing masterpieces while collecting secrets. As the war raged on, two women found themselves drawn into the resistance. Sandrine Paquet cataloged priceless artworks bound for Berlin, but secretly foraged for information from the underground. Behind her compliant facade lay a woman bent on uncovering the fate of her missing husband. When she uncrates an exquisite gown concealing a cryptic message, Sandrine's world is turned upside down. As Hitler's regime crumbled, both women found themselves at the heart of a web of secrets and deception. With their lives now inextricably linked to the fight for liberation, Lila and Sandrine must navigate the treacherous landscape of war-torn Paris.
