The Wrens series moves Vicki Beeby’s wartime fiction from the RAF to the Royal Navy, following women who serve in the Women’s Royal Naval Service during World War II. A New Start for the Wrens (2022) opens the series, followed by A Wrens’ Wartime Christmas (2022) and Hopeful Hearts for the Wrens (2023).

The naval setting distinguishes these books from Beeby’s RAF-focused series. The Wrens performed different roles from their Air Force counterparts, and the coastal and naval base settings bring new locations and challenges into the stories. As with her other series, Beeby combines historical detail about women’s wartime service with friendship and romance, creating books that honor real history while telling engaging fictional stories.
