An epic, deeply moving World War II masterpiece of silent resistance, a brotherly bond tested by fire, and a love that refuses to be conquered.
France, 1944. On the eve of Operation Dragoon—the historic second D-Day in Southern France—two American brothers are plunged into the chaotic fires of occupied territory, their survival hanging by a thread.
Sergeant Frank Taylor drops from the midnight sky into Le Muy, armed for brutal combat. But nothing prepares his battle-hardened heart for Caroline Lambert—a fierce, nineteen-year-old French Resistance fighter known as "the Angel of La Ciotat," who has chosen to fight in the shadows rather than live in Nazi captivity.
Miles away, hidden in a secret corridor behind a rustic farmhouse kitchen, Frank’s brother Michael clings to life after his B-24 bomber is shot out of the sky. Left for dead by his command, Michael must rely on the profound courage of local farmers and the Maquis to elude execution by a closing ring of Gestapo forces.
As the German army triggers a ruthless retreat, a sadistic Nazi commander targets Caroline, sweeping her away into a labyrinth of danger in the heart of Lyon. To save the woman who stole his breath, Frank and his tight-knit unit of paratroopers must wage a high-stakes rescue mission through a burning city before the retreating enemy slips away forever.
Rich with authentic historical detail, gripping suspense, and searing emotion, Song of Cigale is an unforgettable anthem to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope.
