For King, for country...for love?
Victoria Bahani, the privileged seventeen-year-old, daughter of the Rajah of Marpur and an English woman, has always believed she would marry an Englishman. And when she meets Captain Henry Hindley-Jones she knows he's exactly the kind of man she's been thinking of.
But when war breaks out everything changes for Victoria. With Henry away fighting, Victoria must try and find her own path in life and also do her duty for her king and country.
Signing up to be a nurse in the Queen Alexandra's Nursing Corp, Victoria must leave behind the country she loves for a life of danger and duty during the war.
Will Victoria live to regret her impulsive decision? Or can she navigate this new war and new life?
A gripping and authentic tale of courage, duty and bravery, perfect for fans of Lizzie Lane, Patricia McBride and Rosie Clarke.
