Description
Against the upheaval of Napoleonic Spain, fourteen-year-old Juana María de León is separated from her family and finds an unexpected ally—and love—in British officer Harry Smith. Their marriage begins amid the chaos of war, carrying them across battlefields, villages, and military camps as they endure danger, hardship, and the uncertain fortunes of Wellington’s campaigns. Blending romance with meticulously researched military history, the novel brings the Peninsular War vividly to life through detailed depictions of soldiers’ daily experiences and the realities of combat. Juana’s spirited courage and Harry’s devotion lend warmth, humor, and emotional depth to this sweeping story of love, resilience, and loyalty.
