About this book
Robert W. Chambers, best remembered for his weird tales, turned here to spycraft and romance on the eve of the First World War. Along a tense stretch of the French frontier, an American named Warner meets Philippa, a young woman of uncertain origins whose loyalties and safety come into question as armies mass and secret agents circulate. Espionage, mistaken identity, and a slow-building attachment drive the plot while the couple is swept toward the outbreak of war. Chambers writes with pace and a flair for atmosphere, mixing military dread with the pull of new love. Published in 1916, it reflects the anxieties of a continent bracing for catastrophe.
