Description
No mission is without its element of danger, and for Daphne Devine there is always the chance she would never see home again.
But nothing had prepared her for this...
Back in enemy territory, Daphne and one-time lover Jack have been sent to deliver The Grimoire, a centuries-old book filled with mysticism and spells. Posing as a rare book dealer, she will hand the book to a prominent SS officer and send the Nazi's into a spiral where their very beliefs are turned against them.
But this is war, and behind every corner a betrayal is lurking and your enemies are often closer than you think. There are some things we cannot foresee, and these are the things that can kill us.
Is this the mission where there can be no return?
