2025 Named after a star, war correspondent Maia knows how to find the brightest stories – the tales of survival and strength – hidden amongst the dark realities of combat. Now, travelling to Malta to visit her estranged father, with one more chance to build a relationship with her last remaining relative, she’s here to find her own story: never having found somewhere – or some one – she can call home, she’s desperate for answers that might show her where she truly belongs. But when she arrives on the beautiful Mediterranean island, she realises her long-lost family is full of more secrets than she could possibly have imagined. 1942 Maia wakes up to find herself on an island under siege, a city in ruins – and knows she must have been sent here for a reason. Who has she been sent to save? Or is it Maia herself that needs saving? And just when she’s finally found what she’s been seeking, will time separate them forever?
