About this audiobook

Summary

Fourteen lives depend on a beekeeper who just discovered her husband's betrayal. On a wind-battered Danish island in October 1943, Kirsten Holm hides Jewish families in sea caves and honey sheds, using her cliff-path hive inspections as cover for a desperate smuggling route to Sweden. But when German patrols close in and fear fractures the one bond she trusted most, Kirsten must choose between the safety she's clung to since her brother's death and the courage that terrifies her—before dawn takes the choice away.
