Sapphire Skies unveils a love greater than war, a beautiful woman lost, and a mystery unsolved... until now. This epic new saga comes from one of Australia's best-loved storytellers.

In the year 2000, the wreckage of a downed WWII fighter plane is discovered in the forests near Russia's Ukrainian border. The aircraft belonged to Natalya Azarova, an ace pilot and pin-up girl for Soviet propaganda. Yet, the question of her fate remains unanswered. Was she a German spy who faked her own death, as the Kremlin claims? Her lover, Valentin Orlov, now a highly-decorated general, refuses to believe it.

Lily, a young Australian woman, moves to Moscow to escape from her own tragedy. She becomes captivated by the story of Natalya. When she encounters an elderly woman who claims to know the truth behind the rumours, Lily finds herself drawn deeper into the mystery.

From the pomp and purges of Stalin's Russia, through the horrors of war and beyond, secrets and lies, enduring love and terrible betrayal, sacrifice and redemption all combine in this sweeping saga by Belinda Alexandra.
