Meanwhile believing her first love lost she has moved on and fallen for the local doctor Luke Bohenna.
At a birthday party she received word Edmund is still alive and returning.
Now Amelia is conflicted, her old love versus her new found beau.
To honour her word and do her duty she returns to Edmund but things aren't the same, she can't find that old spark and feel the same about Edmund, he has changed and its not just the war, he is malicious, has black moods and is not the sweet man she knew, almost as if he is a different person.

This was amazing, such a twist on an historical novel, more a sinister, intriguing thriller.
