As the Great War escalates, Amanda Rutherford is betrayed by those she trusted most and forced to flee to protect the war secrets in her possession. Meanwhile, her family in Devonshire learns they must commit a son as well as a father to the conflict. And in a remote alpine chalet, a few weary souls find refuge from physical danger--but not the turmoil within.
Discarding Her Past Meant She Had Also Jeopardized Her
Future.
While war escalates on every side, twenty-one-year-old
Amanda Rutherford wages her own internal battles. Betrayed by those
who masqueraded behind claims of love, she takes flight from the
sinister world that had held her in its grip. Only her pursuers
comprehend the value of the secrets she possesses and the success
of England's war effort hangs in the balance.
As the European powers descend into open warfare, unprecedented
peril lurks almost everywhere. For the Rutherfords of Devonshire,
England, the call to arms is an inescapable duty. But to commit a
son to the conflict--as well as a father--represents a test of
faith unlike anything they have faced.
Insulated by the Alps from the political and military storms raging
across Europe, the residents of the Chalet of Hope offer refuge to
the weary and faint of spirit. But despite the tranquility of their
secluded paradise, a troubling yet unspoken emotion stirs in the
heart of their young guest.
