Description
An unconscious man is carried into a house on a rain-swept February night in 1809. He is Captain John Lacroix, home from Britain’s disastrous campaign against Napoleon’s forces in Spain. He recovers his health, but not his peace of mind. He cannot talk about the war or face the memory of what happened on the gruelling retreat to Corunna.
Ordered back to his regiment, he sets out instead for the Hebrides, seeking refuge and a revival of his musical interests. He sails north incognito, unaware that he has far worse to fear than being dragged back to the army. A vicious English corporal and a Spanish officer are on his trail, with orders to kill.
The haven he finds on a remote island with a family of free-thinkers, and the sister he falls for, are not safe.
