White Eagles & Firebird

In "White Eagles" and "Firebird," Elizabeth Gatland weaves two compelling tales set against the backdrop of World War II. Kristina Tomiak, an 18-year-old pilot in Poland's air force, faces peril when the Nazis invade and she undertakes a precarious escape, unaware of a hidden passenger aboard her plane. Meanwhile, in Russia, the brave pilot Nastia is torn between loyalty and truth as the war unfolds, challenging her beliefs and revealing hidden secrets. Both stories highlight the courage and resilience of young women navigating the chaos of conflict.
