The Code Name Verity series centers on Elizabeth Wein’s acclaimed 2012 novel about two young women whose friendship is tested by the dangers of World War II. One is a pilot, the other a spy, and their story unfolds through documents and confessions that reveal the true depth of their bond and sacrifice.

The companion novels expand the world: Rose Under Fire (2013) follows an American pilot held in Ravensbruck concentration camp, The Pearl Thief (2017) is a prequel, and The Enigma Game (2020) follows a new character connected to the earlier stories. Each book stands alone while adding to the larger picture of ordinary people caught up in wartime.
