Bluejay Rises
Dive into the daring world of Catherine DeWitt, where survival and espionage take flight in the turbulent skies of history.
In 1936, amidst the wreckage of her fallen flying circus in French Algeria, Catherine DeWitt, an audacious aerobatic pilot turned chanteuse, faces destitution. Disowned and desperate, she survives on her wits, singing for sustenance and dabbling in thievery. Her fortunes take a dramatic turn when she steals the blueprints of a groundbreaking German warplane. Seeing a chance to escape her troubles, Kate approaches the British government, only to be drawn into the shadowy realm of espionage as the Secret Intelligence Service enlists her to spy on the Nazi Condor Legion as it tests Hitler’s newest weapons in the brutal Spanish Civil War.
Sent undercover to fascist-held Seville, Kate must reconnect with Fernando Alcala, the charismatic colonel in Francisco Franco’s air force whom she deceived for the plans. Amidst the city’s perilous landscape, she grapples with her growing attraction to the dashing colonel while evading the secret police converging on her from both sides of the conflict. As Kate uncovers critical intelligence that could shape Britain’s readiness for the impending global war, she faces a stark challenge: staying alive long enough to report what she’s found.
Bluejay Rises is winging its way to agents. Stay tuned.
