'She is in a league of her own... majestic, terrifying and beautiful' — CAMILLA GRUDOVA

'Feared and hated by friend and foe. The King's General in the West. The man I love.'

On her eighteenth birthday, Honor Harris meets Sir Richard Grenvile—proud, reckless, and utterly captivating—and the pair are drawn irresistibly together. But days before their wedding, a tragic accident leaves Honor partly paralysed, and she reconciles herself to a life alone.

Fifteen years later, with the country in turmoil, Honor and Richard meet again. Honor is sheltering with her sister at her Cornish estate, while Richard has risen to become a general in the king's army. With old passions rekindled, Honor must draw on her courage to defend her country and save Richard's life—at any cost.

About the Author

Daphne du Maurier (1907-1989) was born in London, England. In 1931 her first novel, The Loving Spirit was published. A biography of her father and three other novels followed, but it was the novel Rebecca that launched her into the literary stratosphere and made her one of the most popular authors of her day. In 1932, du Maurier married Major Frederick Browning with whom she had three children.

Many of du Maurier's bestselling novels and short stories were adapted into award-winning films, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and Nicolas Roeg's Don't Look Now. In 1969, du Maurier was awarded the Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE). She lived most of her life in Cornwall and died there which is the setting for many of her books.
