For Alexia, survival is all that matters—until she stumbles upon Frank, a man hiding in an olive grove. He claims to be neither a soldier nor a British spy, but a war artist in desperate need of her help.Risking her life, Alexia hides Frank from the Nazis, knowing that every day brings danger closer. As their bond deepens, love begins to bloom amidst the shadows of war. But Frank harbors secrets of his own, and when the truth comes to light, Alexia is faced with an unthinkable choice—a choice that will test her loyalty, her courage, and the very limits of her heart.Edinburgh, 2010 Decades later, Rob discovers a mysterious photograph among his late mother’s belongings. Determined to uncover its story, he sets out on a journey that leads him to the sunlit olive groves of Corfu. As Rob pieces together the fragments of Alexia and Frank’s story, he discovers that the sacrifices of the past echo into the present, reshaping everything he thought he knew about his family—and himself.As the truth is revealed, Rob uncovers an extraordinary tale of love, betrayal, and unimaginable bravery.Where the Sky Falls is part of Dougie McHale’s Hellenic Collection.
