The Times

Caught amidst the violence are Judith and Guyon, bound together yet poles apart. But when the full horror of war crashes over Guyon and Judith, they are forced to face insurmountable odds. Together...

I was slow to get into this one but was glad that I continued it. Very abrupt end. A story that could have had a better flow.
