A forgotten medal. A buried past. A young woman drawn into the legacy of a spy who risked everything for freedom.
Romorantin-Lanthenay, France - April 2020
When figure skater Sigal Lambert returns to her late father's village for his small pandemic-era funeral, she discovers a war medal tucked away among his things, a Croix de Guerre awarded to the grandmother she never knew existed.
Her search leads her to Albert Maréchal, a reserved philosophy student still reeling from the isolation of lockdown. At first guarded toward the curious Parisienne, Albert gradually shares his grandfather's Resistance memories, recollections that bring to light the extraordinary mission of Muriel Byck, a young Jewish woman recruited into Churchill's secret wartime network, the SOE.
As Sigal uncovers Muriel's final weeks, working in deep cover alongside the French maquis and famed leader Philippe de Vomécourt, she begins to piece together not only the truth about Muriel's sacrifice, but the hidden story of her own grandmother, a brave courier whose role has long been forgotten.
Inspired by true events, The Call of Destiny: Codename Violette is a sweeping dual-timeline novel of legacy, espionage, and the women whose courage shaped history-and those who refuse to let it fade.
