The renewal of war in 1803 coupled with the threat of invasion by
Napoleon catalyzes a tangled tale of love, intrigue and bravery in
regency Britain. With the collapse of the Peace of Amiens, the
threat of invasion has all Britain frightened. Katherine is faced
with the choice between her love, the wounded half-pay Lieutenant
Bates - a soldier with few prospects, and finding a suitable
husband on the marriage mart in regency London. Her dilemma is made
harder when he is called up to train a regiment of volunteers. The
jealousies and rivalries that surround the regiment erupt into an
argument between Katherine and her love. Recruited to scout
Napoleon's Grande Armee on the promise of a suitable position
should he return, Bates finds himself torn between love and duty
when he meets a young widow in Normandy. Set against the backdrop
of Regency England and Napoleonic France, in a period where the
existential threat of foreign invasion by a hated foe loomed over
every aspect of life, the fates of these individuals is interlocked
with the fate of their nation.
