Are these newly trained Wrens ready to protect Britains coastline? Following a humiliating experience involving the man she thought she'd marry, Iris Tredwick signs up to the Wrens in order to escape and find 'the right sort of man to please her mother. After a bumpy start, Iris manages to befriend outspoken Mary and dreamer Sally as they are sent to their first posting – in Orkney.
There, she meets mechanic Rob, whose flirtatious nature both charms and confounds straight-laced Iris. Much more appropriate for her is local doctor Stewart, if only she felt the same spark for him as she does for Rob…
As Iris, Mary, and Sally work to interpret signals from incoming ships, they realize the enemy is somehow one step ahead of their maneuvers, dropping sea mines under the cover of darkness. Could there be a spy on the island? And can the Wrens prevent disaster striking before it's too late?
A thrilling and lively Second World War saga for fans of Kate Thompson and Daisy Styles.
