About this book
Lieutenant Harry Hardinge serves under the red dragon of Wales, torn between his duties as a soldier and his love for the worldly, high-born Lady Estelle Cressingham. James Grant sets his romance against the hardships of campaign life, carrying his hero from the drawing rooms of Britain to the battlefields abroad. Grant knew soldiering firsthand, and his fiction moves with a veteran's eye for regimental detail and a Victorian storyteller's taste for high feeling and sudden reversals of fortune. Part love story and part military adventure, it is the kind of ardent historical romance that kept him a fixture on the popular shelves of his age. This free edition is available to download as a PDF and EPUB.
