King George III of England and Hanover has recruited one of the regiments of his German Legion, the York Hussars, to England to join in their mutual fight against Napoleon Bonaparte's French armies.

One day, Phyllis Grove, daughter of the local doctor and betrothed to Humphrey Gould, was listlessly surveying the pasture without, when her attention was arrested by a solitary figure walking along the path. It was one of the renowned German Hussars. Their chance encounter was to have a devastating effect on the rest of Phyllis life.

I enjoy it each time
I am a fan of Ken Colley who is the narrator of this audio book. I have listened to it many times. I enjoy it each time. Mr. Colley's narration is a bit unique in that he doesn't speak as clearly as other book narrators to whom you may have listened. I don't mind it at all and it doesn't take anything away from the listening experience for me. Interesting story that I wasn't familiar with until downloading this audio.
