Synopsis

In a war-torn Near East, love and duty are tested against impossible odds.

A couple faces danger, separation, and hard choices as siege and exile frame their lives. This sweeping tale follows Veronika and Pierre as they fight to protect family, cling to hope, and search for a path to freedom amid constant peril.

Set against a backdrop of siege, shifting loyalties, and long nights of fear, the story blends personal devotion with portraits of courage. It traces the cost of war on ordinary lives and how determination, faith, and resourcefulness keep hope alive when the way forward is hidden by danger.

  • Experience an intimate look at love under pressure and the power of steadfast loyalty.
  • Follow dramatic rescues, brave acts, and the slow, painful grind of survival.
  • See how families navigate secrecy, danger, and shifting alliances in wartime.
  • Immerse yourself in a historical setting that blends personal drama with grand hardship.

Ideal for readers drawn to historical romances set amid conflict, resilience, and the enduring pull of love.

Présentation de l'éditeur

He was pacing untiringly to and fro though the night was very warm and very still. His step was light and alert and the supple swing of movement was charged with nervous force. He walked with his head thrust forward meditatively, and he was smoking as if for a wager against time. Chatter of voices curiously varied in tone, laughter, and the tinkling of glass and coffee cups drifted through the open French windows, sounds that contrasted oddly with the superb calm and crystal atmosphere of the open. For the locality of this summer hotel was on a highland plateau of Syria, some 3,000 feet above sea and plain. The matchless prospect around was of billows of mountain ridges, while immediately below the eye a pine strewn slope, scattered with huge bowlders of rock, slid almost perpendicularly into a deep ravine. Daylight would show in its depths a sturdy stream hurtling its way through thickets of rose-laden oleanders. A lull in the gayety caught the walkers attention. He paused opposite one of the glass doors and stared into the lighted interior. He stood in shadow or surely the look in his eyes would have been more guarded.
