<strong>An immersive tale based on the true story of two extraordinary women, Noor Inayat Khan and Vera Atkins, whose destinies converged amidst the chaos of Nazi-occupied France during World War II.</strong>
Noor Inayat Khan: born into an influential Sufi family, and a remarkable spy.

The war rages on and the days darken, Noor embarks on a perilous mission behind enemy lines while Vera steps into a role that changes history. As Vera unravels the mysteries surrounding more than 100 female operatives she sent into danger, Noor remains a haunting enigma. Through dogged perseverance, Vera peels back the layers of secrecy, exposing the fate of Noor Inayat Khan.
Transporting us to a time of unfathomable courage and sacrifice, Rupande Mehta's debut reveals the incredible bravery and unbreakable bonds that defined two incredible women in one of history's darkest hours.
