Spies. Secrets. Sacrifice.
Inspired by the real-life legend of Nancy Wake — the “White Mouse” of the French Resistance — The Ace of Codename Hélène launches a sweeping WWII-to-modern-day trilogy about courage, legacy, and the invisible ties between women across generations.
London, 2010.
Aroha Tui has always walked between worlds — her Māori royal heritage and her new life in Britain. When she’s assigned to care for Nancy Wake, once the most wanted woman in Nazi-occupied France, she expects a recluse. Instead, she meets a razor-witted survivor who offers her a find the long-lost war medals stolen decades ago, and she’ll reveal her untold story.
As Aroha joins forces with Jules, a young Frenchman whose grandfather once fought beside Nancy, buried secrets rise from the ashes — of love lost, betrayal endured, and courage reborn.
The Ace of Codename Hélène is the first book in The Ace of Nerve Trilogy — a powerful story of resistance, remembrance, and the women who refuse to be forgotten.
