September 1945. In the village, everybody is celebrating the end of the war. Sebastian has grown (the boy is 10 years old now). He and Belle are waiting impatiently for Angeline to return. But she never reaches Saint Martin.

There is terrible news: Angelina was lost when her plane crashed deep in the Transalpine forest. All the villagers mourn her. All… except Cesar. Sebastian’s grandfather knows a man who could help them find Angelina.

But before the boy and his dig can rescue the young woman, they must face a thousand dangers, endure a thousand ordeals and confront a secret… One that will change Belle and Sebastian’s lives forever.
