The Highland Raven: A Gripping Scottish Family Saga from World War 2 (A Resistance Girl Novel Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Hannah Byron (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 759 ratings

Inspired by the real stories of the female SOE agents in France, ‘The Highland Raven’, book 5 in ‘The Resistance Girl Series’ is a gripping WW2 tale of redemption, revenge, and the enduring power of friendship.

Scotland, 1939

From fallen socialite to fearless SOE agent, Sable Montgomery's transformation is nothing short of extraordinary.

Scarred by a haunting past, Sable seeks a fresh start. Her path diverts from a marriage proposal to a Swiss finishing school, where she doesn’t make herself popular among the other “resistance girls”, classmates Lili, Océane, Esther, Edda and Anna.

Back in London, a encounter with the now secret agent recruiter Anna propels Sable into a new life and love. Under the mentorship of William "Wild Bill" Mitchell, the Scotsman who trains SOE agents, Sable discovers her inner strength.

But when her arch-nemesis, ruthless Gestapo leader Joachim Von Henkell, resurfaces, Sable's resolve is tested. With unwavering determination, she becomes one of Churchill's finest secret agents.

As the war ends, Sable harbors one fervent wish – to reunite with the girl she left behind.

Sable’s relentless fight against the Nazis becomes both a blessing and a curse, making this a riveting and evocative novel that will capture your heart.

Reviewer quote Takes you deep behind the mists of time and politics that obscured the horrors and struggles endured during German occupation. Transports me to another time... a time not unfamiliar with the atrocities of war because it has been promised to never forget. "Lest we Forget". Shows a different side to the WW2 story, events immediately after the end of the war. The narrative is intense & gruelling. Brings to a close the stories of the remarkable Resistance Girls. They reinforce the dream of lasting peace and no more war.
Can't miss scene “I know who betrayed my family, and he’s a dead man” Rows of men dressed in black, waving National Socialist banners. She found herself entangled in a dangerous web of secrets. "After Kristallnacht we moved from Austria to Norway thinking we would be safe."

    Everyone of Hannah Byron’s books have been spell blinding for me! This series is so captivating! I love the historical value as well as the intricacies of the story! The original characters interaction with each other also brings another aspect to the series! I will hate to finish that last book!

    I just can't get enough of the resistance girl! Of all of them, Sable's story is the one that touched my heart the most. I do recommend reading the books in order, only because I am a fan of order. However, I started with book six and had no difficulty reading it out of order... Except, I totally had to buy all the books. I completely recommend this book!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting path of Scottish society girl to SOE heroine
    Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2022
    The narrative was a roller-coaster of a ride from pre-WWII Scotland, where Lady Sable Montgomery is kept restricted in her family manor home, along with her Nazi-loving mother, to a finishing school in Switzerland, to a career with the SOE, behind enemy lines in France. Much adventure, peril, backdrop of Dunkirk, all the way to D-day and how Sable was involved. I confess I did not like her condescending, upper-class character for the first several chapters, but as the book goes on, Sable evolves into a much more likeable and honorable character. Her lifetime friendship with Freddie is sweet and supports her development. Lovely book set before, during and slightly after WWII.

    When I began reading this book I was disappointed. Didn't like any of the characters and almost decided to set it aside. But because I have read several of Byron's and loved them I decided to read a few more chapters to see if it got better. I am so glad I did.
    This turned out to be one of the best WW2 books that I've read. Both male and female readers will definitely enjoy reading this book.
