Outside Heaven’s Sway is Underway!


Deception.  Jazz.  Sabotage.  Betrayal.

Aided by her resourceful Turkish admirer, Kerem Solak, Phoebe tracks her mother’s murderer in Paris. But when war erupts, what is more important? Revenge or romance? War, however, has little respect for choice, especially once Europe flounders in the mire of Nazism. And when Phoebe encounters her former Viennese beau, Hubie Schütze, her life takes a perilous turn.

Raw, intimate, and vividly recounted, Outside Heaven’s Sway explores individual freedom, its relationship to society, and its moral implications. It is the second volume of In the Hearts of Kings, Annette Young’s wartime trilogy of justice and mercy, revenge and forgiveness.
