Leaves in the Sun
Author: Will Solomon
Review:
Set during the tumultuous days of World War II, this story begins in 1940. Lynn, a refugee, now works as a housemaid at the estate of Lord Drake. Owing to Drake’s romantic feelings for her, Lynn enjoys certain privileges—enough to stand her ground even against Drake’s concubine, Rain.
Intriguingly, Rain offers to teach Lynn magic and give her insights into Drake’s feelings for her. Meanwhile, Lord Corinthian pays a visit to Drake, bringing news that Parliament has authorized the formation of a new department within the SOE—known as the F-section. Corinthian believes Lynn has the potential to contribute meaningfully to this cause. He urges Drake to inform Lynn, leaving the final decision to her.
However, the weight of the choice unsettles Drake. Allowing Lynn to take part in such dangerous operations feels akin to signing her death warrant. Will Lynn accept the challenge and navigate the treacherous world of wartime espionage? And what fate awaits Lord Drake?
Fans of spy thrillers will find much to enjoy in this gripping tale. The book’s cover is beautifully designed, and the title is both striking and memorable. Solomon masterfully captures readers’ attention, and it would be a pleasure to see more of his espionage fiction set in the World War II era.
Rating: 5/5
