Fire Casts No Shadow

Caroline Whall hides behind a mastery of disguises and illusions, trying to make a name for herself while disappearing around every corner. Struggling against her own disability, she cajoles, connives, and conceals whatever she needs to support and aid in the resistance efforts against the brutal German invasion of France during World War II. Tempting death and torture at every turn, she gives up her identity and risks everything to complete her mission and survive.

Captain Arlo Sherwood sees two sides of this war from the cockpit of his Lysander. As an RAF member of “Churchill’s Secret Army,” he flies deep into enemy territory to drop agents and supplies into the waiting arms of the French underground, but a deeper commitment on the other side of the Channel puts more than his own life in peril. The innocents—the children whose families and lives have been destroyed—need him and his plane to bring them out of France and to safety.

Gratitude leads to fascination when Arlo continues to cross paths with the mysterious “Limping Lady of Lyon,” but he is not alone. An obsession with Caroline by the head of the Gestapo is quick to make her the most hunted agent in the region and leads to her escape mere minutes ahead of her capture. But even Arlo’s love and insistence, as well as the SOE’s refusal to send her back into France on what can only be called a suicide mission, cannot keep her from returning to finish her fight.
