Summary
A Peaky Blinders Story
1919. The war is over-but some battles never end.
Catherine Guthrie arrives in Birmingham with nothing but a battered suitcase and the ghosts of men she couldn't save. A former field nurse from Bristol, she's traded blood-soaked bandages for smoke-stained streets, desperate to leave the war-and the woman it made her-behind. But the city has other plans.
When a chance encounter entangles her with Freddie Thorne and his sharp-eyed lover, Ada Shelby, Catherine is pulled into the orbit of the most dangerous family in Small Heath. Behind the haze of whisky and gunpowder, Tommy Shelby waits-calculated, cold, and impossible to look away from.
Tommy sees through Catherine's practised calm. Catherine sees the fractures behind his control. Both are tired of bleeding, and neither knows how to stop.
As rivalries rise and secrets close in, Catherine must decide whether healing is a thing of the past or whether some embers, no matter how buried, were meant to burn.
