THE LEAP: The Woman Who Went Through Fire

One woman. One parachute. One chance to save the Resistance.

1944. Occupied France. A woman the Gestapo cannot catch-and the Allies cannot afford to lose.

Krystyna Skarbek-known to the British as Christine Granville, the legendary SOE agent-parachutes onto the Vercors plateau to rebuild shattered resistance lines and outmaneuver the tightening German hunt. Her work is silent, precise, and lethal: sabotage missions, supply drops, and the constant geometry of danger.

But the net is closing. The Abwehr has identified her. Contacts vanish. Messages die in transit. The mountains of the Vercors are no longer a sanctuary.

From the ridges of the Alps to the corridors of Gestapo offices in Digne-les-Bains, Krystyna navigates a world where power is exercised quietly and mistakes are fatal. Beneath her discipline lies the memory of Warsaw in 1939-the moment that taught her how fast a life can collapse.

When three captured SOE officers face execution, Krystyna undertakes the most dangerous operation of her career: walking alone into Gestapo headquarters armed only with nerve, preparation, and deception.

Based on real events, THE LEAP is a taut, atmospheric World War II espionage thriller-a story of courage, survival, and the high cost of resistance.

"A gripping WWII spy novel for fans of Kate Quinn's The Alice Network, Ariel Lawhon's Code Name H©l¨ne, and the historical thrillers of Alan Furst."
