About this ebook
As the German army invades the Netherlands in 1940, Aleida van der Zee Martens escapes to London to wait out the Occupation. Separated from her three-year-old son, Theo, in the process, the young widow desperately searches for her little boy even as she works for an agency responsible for evacuating children to the countryside.
When German bombs set London ablaze, BBC radio correspondent Hugh Collingwood reports on the Blitz, eager to boost morale while walking the fine line between truth and censorship. But the Germans are not the only ones Londoners have to fear as a series of murders flame up amid the ashes.
The deaths hit close to home for Hugh, and Aleida needs his help to locate her missing son. As they work together, they grow closer and closer, both to each other and the answers they seek. But with bombs falling and continued killings, they may be running out of time.

Mystery, heartfelt romance, & a mother’s undying love all set against the backdrop of London during WWII. Sarah Sundin is a favorite historical romance author. I’ve loved learning more about how the Netherlands was involved in the war through her stories & the endearing characters she creates. Embers in the London Sky is a heart-wrenching story of a young Dutch mother trying to find her son after her cruel husband ships him off to England with total strangers during their escape from the Germans
