The Call of Destiny

In The Call of Destiny: Codename Violette, book 3 in the Timeless Agents series, past and present collide as untold stories of wartime courage unravel in the shadow of a modern-day pandemic.

Romorantin-Lanthenay, France, 2020
In the quiet aftermath of her father’s small pandemic-era funeral, Sigal Lambert discovers a forgotten relic: a Croix de Guerre awarded posthumously to her paternal grandmother, a woman she barely knew existed but whose name she carries.

Sigal’s mondaine life in Paris, shaped by her mother’s pragmatic worldview and her stepfather’s non-Jewish traditions, is suddenly disrupted by questions of courage, legacy, and a heritage she has long ignored. Her grandmother’s story reveals an unexpected connection to Muriel Byck, a British Jewish SOE agent whose mission in occupied France brought her into the same small town during the war.

Muriel’s work with Philippe de Vomécourt’s VENTRILOQUIST Network ended in tragedy, but her bravery left an indelible mark. Teaming up with Albert Maréchal, the grandson of the De Vomécourt family’s gardener, Sigal delves into a shared history while navigating the restrictions of a world transformed by the pandemic. Their growing connection is tempered by distance, forcing them to confront their feelings with care and resolve.

From the dangerous missions of World War II to a present-day world filled with uncertainty, The Call of Destiny: Codename Violette is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love and liberation
