Italy, 1944. The war rages in the mountains. For young American nurse Catherine Morvant, her midnight shifts at the makeshift field hospital are meant to heal the wounded-not risk her life. But when she overhears a whispered plan involving hidden explosives and a monastery used as a German artillery base, she is drawn into a secret network where medicine is only part of the mission.
Lieutenant Margaret Kellerman is the best surgical nurse in the theater-and the most guarded. Her covert ties to Italian partisans force Catherine to confront the true cost of mercy and the deadly gray zone between healer and fighter. Every convoy could be a trap. Every patient could be an informant. Every decision could be her last.
Shadows of Mercy is a heart-stopping novel of courage, divided loyalties, and the fight to protect the innocent when the rules of war no longer apply. Inspired by real events, it blends rich historical detail with unforgettable human drama-perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Martha Hall Kelly's Lilac Girls.
- Historical WWII fiction with an emotional punch
- Richly drawn characters and morally complex choices
- Perfect for readers of Kate Quinn and Ken Follett
In war, mercy is never simple. And neither is survival.
