Synopsis: High above the English coastline, political storms swirled far more turbulent than any natural storm. Indeed, the silent clouds moving steadily but inexorably westward were thick and black and worldwide in their scope. Yet few apprehended the threat. It was not only nationalism, liberalism, the rising expectation of the middle class, and the political instability of the European power structure that made this a dangerous time. There were unseen currents of deceit and deception lurking silent but lethal beneath the surface of European affairs. And some, masquerading under a cloak of truth and enlightenment, gave no hint of their subversive loyalties. As England and the rest of Europe approach a climax when the world will be changed forever, the Aurnerrorout or Devonshire stand, too, in a peril they have no way to foresee. Estranged from her family, twenty-year-old Amanda has left Heathersleigh Hall for what seems an exciting world in prewar London and the suffragette movement. Determined to make an impact and stand on her own two feet, she has no idea of danger surrounding her on all sides.
