Synopsis

A mysterious song in the forest … a discovery in war-torn France … a journey toward hope.

The trenches of the Great War are a shadowed place. Though Platoon Sergeant Matthew Petticrew arrived there with a past long marked by shadow, the realities of battle bring new wounds—carving within him a longing for light, and a resolve to fight for it.

One night, Matthew and his comrades are enraptured by a sound so pure, a voice so ethereal, it offers reprieve—even if only for a moment. Soon, rumors sweep the trenches from others who have heard the lullaby too. “The Angel of
Argonne,” they call the voice: a mysterious presence who leaves behind wreaths on unmarked graves.

Raised in the wild depths of the Forest of Argonne, Mireilles finds her reclusive world rocked when war crashes into her idyllic home, taking much from her. When Matthew and his two unlikely companions discover Mireilles, they must
embark on a journey that will change each of them forever … and perhaps, at long last, spark light into the dark.

On the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier comes an emotive tale inspired by the courageous soldiers of World War I.

Goodreads review by Sarah

Whenever I read a novel by Amanda Dykes, I’m transported by her lyrical writing into an almost otherworldly world – ours but not quite – a world where story lives on a higher plane, where characters like Matthew and Mira wrench your heart even as George makes you laugh. Best of all, Amanda’s writing......more

This book is amazing. It's both heartfelt and heart wrenching and should be way more popular than it is. Historical fiction is a genre overloaded with WWII stories, and this WWI novel is a refreshing change of pace. Set during the great war it follows a ragtag group of American soldiers from their v......more

Goodreads review by Heather

If you're anything like me, you read Amanda Dykes for the way she takes truth and chips away all the darkness we've buried it under so that it shines clearly in its true radiance. You probably like her characters and you think her stories are splendid, but it's the way she writes them that makes the......more
