This tale of the Peninsular Campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars offers unforgettable adventure. A group of ten set out to wend their way out from behind French lines in Portugal and back to the British Army. In the lead is young ensign Keith Graham, trying desperately to elude capture and certain death. At his side is Gwyneth: beautiful, smart, experienced—a woman of the world.
