A new generation is growing up in the distant Hesterly Hall.
Braydi Brampton is in many ways like her mother. She is decisive, fair, and devoted. Childhood ends when storm clouds gather over Europe—threat of a new war. The girl is torn between duty to her family and a burning desire to be on the front line, to slow history down. But fate has a cruel surprise: one of Braydi’s closest people ends up on the other side of the barricades.
