Description
📖 Beneath the Crumbling Sky
“Hope never truly dies—not even when the sky does.”
🧭 Overview
In the soot-stained streets of wartime London, a nurse fights not just to save lives, but to uncover a truth buried beneath the rubble.
Nora Ellwood, steadfast and compassionate, returns to her childhood neighbourhood in the East End to work at Bethnal Green Hospital during the Blitz. Every day brings a fresh wave of wounded souls. Every night, the walls shake with bomb blasts. Amid the chaos, a wounded RAF pilot—Elias Monroe—arrives with a past as shadowed as the city skyline.
As Nora nurses Elias, they forge a bond over poetry, music, and shared grief. But Elias harbors secrets about a covert mission gone awry—and someone wants them buried. Meanwhile, Nora’s best friend Sadie unearths a black-market ring operating within the hospital, tying betrayal dangerously close to home.
When a V‑2 rocket shatters everything Nora thought she could hold together, she must lead her community in the fight not only for survival—but for justice.
