The author introduces us to Leo, a boy growing up in an orphanage in Bombay and right away I was intrigued by Leo's circumstances and character. In time his talents are put to use by the British government, setting Leo on a life lived as a spy. Such an occupation comes with the obligatory personal sacrifices and Leo suffers more than his fair share of these.Davina Dymond is an innocent, young romantic ready for marriage. She meets and falls for Leo, but his duty to Britain quickly separates them. Married off to a Spaniard, she must come to terms with a new life in a foreign land soon to be subjected to a brutal civil war.The author has written a real page-turner with great characters, interesting locations and intriguing political undercurrents.Thank you.
