When Stars Light the Sky

De: Elizabeth Camden

Narrado por: Kathryn Markey

In a world on the brink of war, two hearts must navigate shadows of uncertainty.

Inga Klein's carefree life in New York takes a dramatic turn when she sails for Berlin, Germany, to serve as the secretary for America's ambassador. Amid the glamour of life at the embassy, she continually finds herself at odds with the straitlaced and imposing Benedict Kincaid, the diplomatic chief of staff who harbors deep misgivings toward the German-born Inga.

As Europe hurtles toward World War I, Benedict's determination to keep America out of the conflict adds to the already tense atmosphere. Despite their relentless sparring, Inga and Benedict succeed in keeping the embassy afloat through one crisis after another. But when they run out of diplomatic options, a marriage of convenience may be Inga's only hope of escape from the impending war.

Beautiful story! I can't stop reading Mrs Camden books. I'm always learning some piece of history so precious, enveloped in such elegant writing. And this story has it all. Thank you Mrs Campbel.

Embassy diplomacy

Loved this book!!

I loved everything about this book. The way the story begins, the way it flows, the ending and everything in between. Such great characters. I can't wait to hear more about these characters in the next book. Very excited for January 2026 to see how the author concludes these amazing books and characters!!

Excellent character development!

One of Camden’s best! Great historical fiction with a story that holds strong to end!

Historical fiction at its best!

I learned so much about pre-war Germany. I ended up researching many events that brought us to war, even watching documentaries. Camden is the best there is for historical fiction. Can’t wait until her next one.
