One moment of courage can echo through generations.
Corfu, 1943
In the shadow of World War II, a badly wounded British soldier is found near the home of Helena, a young Greek wife and mother. Risking her family's safety, she makes a choice that will change everything—saving a stranger who will become far more than just a man she rescued.
Edinburgh, 2018
Seventy-five years later in Edinburgh, Jason discovers a journal among his great grandfather Marcus's belongings. Uncovering a story of love, passion, betrayal, and long-buried secrets, he embarks on a journey to Corfu. Though struggling with his own personal trauma, Jason seeks to understand a history that has the potential to transform not just his family's past, but his entire future.
Set against the dramatic landscapes of wartime Corfu and modern-day Scotland, Beneath A Burning Sky explores the extraordinary courage of ordinary people and the enduring power of love across generations.
