About this ebook
An epic wartime novel from the No.1 bestselling author of LABYRINTH and THE CITY OF TEARS
1942, Nazi-occupied France. Sandrine, a spirited and courageous nineteen-year-old, finds herself drawn into a Resistance group in Carcassonne - codenamed 'Citadel' - made up of ordinary women who are prepared to risk everything for what is right.
And when she meets Raoul, they discover a shared passion for the cause, for their homeland, and for each other.
But in a world where the enemy now lies in every shadow - where neighbour informs on neighbour; where friends disappear without warning and often without trace - love can demand the highest price of all...

Purchased the book after readin both labyrinth and sepulchre, good if laborous start to the story, just as I started to get really into the plot it crashed for some reason, I have deleted and reinstalled and purchased only for it to happen again at exactly the same page in the book! Waste of money!

I truly wish you will write more enchanting books like labyrinth, sepulcher and citadel. They are by far my absolute favorite reads I have ever had! It's a pity there isn't more. I was captured by your writing and the story unfolding! Amazing please write more!
