Cover Reveal – When Twilight Breaks
Today I’m pleased to reveal the cover for my upcoming novel, When Twilight Breaks, which is scheduled to release from Revell Books February 2, 2021. This is the first of three standalone novels, each following Americans living in Nazi Europe before and during World War II.
When Twilight Breaks is now available for pre-order at Baker Book House, Amazon, ChristianBook.com, Barnes & Noble, and BAM.
When Twilight Breaks
Munich, 1938.
Evelyn Brand is an American foreign correspondent as determined to prove her worth in a male-dominated profession as she is to expose the growing tyranny in Nazi Germany. To do so, she must walk a thin line. If she offends the government, she could be expelled from the country—or worse. If she fails to truthfully report on major stories, she’ll never be able to give a voice to the oppressed—and wake up the folks back home.
In another part of the city, American graduate student Peter Lang is working on his PhD in German. Disillusioned with the chaos in the world due to the Great Depression, he is impressed with the prosperity and order of German society. But when the brutality of the regime hits close, he discovers a far better way to use his contacts within the Nazi party—to feed information to the shrewd reporter he can’t get off his mind.
This electric standalone novel puts you right at the intersection of pulse-pounding suspense and heart-stopping romance.

Would love to win any print books by you, Sarah! Am always interested in stories about the WWWII era, especially since my Father was in the Navy on the SS Saratoga aircraft carrier. Later, he became a Christian, and the Lord called him to be a missionary in Paraguay, South America, where he reached primitive tribes. The last tribe, the Ache’, was the group he, my Mom, brother and I reached together was in 1976, where my brother and his family still currently work with that tribe. My husband and I minister in Deer Lodge, MT, where my husband is a minister. Thank you for your prayers for us, as well as for this opportunity to enter a giveaway!

What a gorgeous cover! That red hat really sets it all off. I can’t wait for this book. I love your writing and this sounds so good. Thanks for sharing!
It’s interesting that David (above) mentioned the Thoenes who are wonderful historical fiction writers which I began reading many years ago. Then I got turned on to Sarah’s books and I’ve not been able to put them down whenever they come out. Can hardly wait for this new one plus I’ve learned so much about WWII through her books.
Love the cover for your new book!
My Dad served in the Army National Guard for 6 years. I can remember when I was big enough to understand, we would watch war movies, documentaries, etc. He also loved to read WWI and WWII books! I know that is where I get my passion for reading good books, especially those that are inspirational. Don’t need the smut, etc.! I thoroughly enjoy reading your books and can’t wait until this one comes out or I win a copy! May God continue to bless your ministry in writing good, clean Christian books!
Hey Sarah, sounds like another great story! Can’t wait to read, and hope I win (This would be my first book won).
Love the cover! The simple pop of red adds an element of hope to the ominous shades on most of it. I marvel at your ability to tell a story that has so much historical information in it as well. Can’t wait until February!
I am a new reader of your books and have greatly enjoyed every one that I have read thus far. Looking forward to your new story. I am currently reading “The Splendid and The Vile” about Churchill and so am immersed in England’s struggle for survival and the great leadership he provided at a very crucial time.
I love WWII fiction and am always looking for more novels in that genre. Thanks so much for making me aware of your newest work.
February seems a long way off. Can’t wait to read this. I will be pre-ordering 2 books as I always buy one for myself and one for our church library.
Sarah, the cover is absolutely beautiful. I love and own all of your books so far, so I’m anxious for this to be released as well. May God continue to bless you with great success for your writing.

I just enjoyed watching your video of your book reveal. I had never watched one before. Most interesting. My husband was stationed in Berlin and I lived there for 3 months in the ’70’s. I believe that is what stoked my love of learning more about WWII. Can’t wait to read these 3 new novels as they are released.
Love reading your books knowing you put so much research into this time period to have accuracy in events, the culture of WWII & the weaving in of great stories to this timeframe. You help your readers to gain perspectives we would otherwise miss that we can apply to present day & broaden our scope for life.
Your books are amazing and I’m so looking forward to reading this new one! The cover is wonderful!
I love your cover, Sarah! Especially the handwriting in the background! Congratulations!
Love the cover and all the symbolism, Sarah! I’m sure it’s a great book! Congratulations!
What is the plane on the cover? And the cover is beautiful but then I knew it would be!!,
Love how you broke down the cover elements for us.
(Also love your cozy home.)
Just pre-ordered my book along with Liz Tolsma’s new book coming out in September! So excited for both of your books. Your books are my favorite!!

Thank you for another book! I appreciate you so much! So excited!
Sarah, This cover is GORGEOUS! Your stories are AMAZING!
Another gorgeous cover and I’m sure the story is rich. You amaze me!
I believe you could write a great story about even the most mundane of jobs during WWII…there were soo o many challenges for women.Looking forward to each new story!
You are a new author to me! Laura Frantz sent me to your link. Laura, Melanie Dobson, Roseanna White, and Fiona Valpy are some of my favorite authors and I will definitely be adding your books to my kindle and audible collection. My Dad was on a B24 during WW2 and at one time he was shot down behind German lines and the French Underground helped him get back to England. I am fascinated with World History! I’d love to win a book so I can get into this story soon, it sounds rich with details. Thank you.
A sad Canadian follower, but I am happy to buy When Twilight Breaks. Lovely cover, Sarah.
I love your books. Can’t wait for the next one!
Love the cover! My favorite genre has always been mystery/suspense seconded by Historical. But lately it’s switched. Historical CF is now my favorite and I can’t wait to read these novels.
The cover of this book makes me want to read it now!
I love the pictures of your characters.
I love all of the history your share in your books….I learn so much about WWII that I never knew…you go inside details with the characters….and then so much faith that turns me to God every time. I love your characters.
July 2, we were at Pinecrest Lake. As I was walking out of the lake , a lady sitting in a camp chair was reading another Christian author. I stopped to ask if she had read any of Sarah Sundin’s books. She said, “Haven’t heard of her.” Great opportunity, I took it, and gave her a 3 min. summary of the excellent series books, WWII, all quality reads, and encouraged her to go online and check out the books and author pages. She lit- up at the mention of the WWII era, and thanked me for the heads-up. It is always a joy to pass on the Sarah Sundin book intros!
Thank you so much for telling people about my books, Bonnie 🙂
I love the cover, Sarah! and you’ve got my curiosity up for the story. My mother was 18 years old in 1938. No ties to Germany, but with the world as it is in 2020, I think this book will be very interesting indeed. Not to mention the story itself, which can’t help but be good. Yours always are! Thank you, Sarah. Your books are a beacon of light.
Thank you so much. This book looks very interesting. Wishing you much success!
I always love your covers. This one draws me in. Excited to read it.
It is gorgeous! Congrats!!!!
I can hardly wait for your new book – ever since the first one. I collect all of them now, and have re-read most of them now ?
This is so exciting!❤️
No doubt this will be another great Sarah Sundin book! You are my favorite Christian Historical fiction author – I love books set in WW2 and yours are always filled with action and romance. Love this cover!
What a beautiful covet, Sarah! I am very eager to read the book.
I hope to win this one!! I loved A Distant melody and The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin that i read last month!!
I can’t wait to read another great book. Love the cover. I would love to win!
Always enjoy your books. I like the research you do on WWII
Since I lived during WWII, and loved History. Your new book sounds great. I will love to read it!!
Love all your books and I’m sure this will be a 10 plus.
It looks like a winner! I can’t wait to read it.
Your cover is intriguing to say the least. Can’t wait to read this book.
There is so much about the cover that subtly reveals the time period and setting for your story. Those years leading up to the declaration of war were so dark. Darkness piled upon darkness in the Nazi takeover of neighboring countries and the sanctioning of hatred of the Jewish people. Looking forward to reading your latest creation.
Love the cover, looking forward to reading another amazing historical fiction by my favorite author ! Thank you, Sarah, for the opportunity to win!
I have so enjoyed all your books and am looking forward to this next one with great anticipation!!!
