    In this timeless tale of forbidden love and sacrifice, the beautiful Nora Connor captures the heart of the distinguished Duke Percival at a glittering summer ball. Their passionate connection defies the rigid social boundaries of the time, but while Nora's social-climbing mother sees a golden opportunity, the Duke's formidable family will stop at nothing to keep them apart.
    Driven to desperate measures, the lovers marry in secret and exchange a fateful oath - one that will echo through their lives with devastating consequences. As the brutal Boer War calls the Duke to South Africa's battlefields, Nora faces her own desperate fight at home, carrying a secret that will make her an outcast from society. With only Pierre, the Duke's most trusted servant, as her ally, she retreats into exile, each passing day bringing fresh hope and fear about her beloved's fate.
