Three Paths to Midnight
By Danielle Shaw
Harriet Weston has never been interested in dresses and society balls like other young women, much to her family’s annoyance.
Instead, she loves to ride through muddy fields with her horse Amber and play soldiers with her cousins.
However, when Napoleon’s escape from Elba sends young men off to enlist in Wellington’s army, Harriet’s cousins leave to join the fight.
She is left alone at Woodfield Hall with her aunt and uncle, who have raised her since her parents died.
Bereft at her cousins’ departure, Harriet finds herself drawn to Kingham’s Folly, the remote and sinister ruin perched high on the cliff top.
One day, wearing a favourite scarlet tunic, Harriet heads out to deliver letters to General Fanshawe.
However, a misunderstanding leads her to be rounded up with the men setting sail for Ostend…
This is no longer child’s play, and Harriet is in serious danger; not only is she a woman in a man’s world, but she is also about to head into battle with Napoleon’s army.
She must attempt to keep her true identity a secret, and stay alive.
When some discover who ‘Harry’ really is, an unexpected romance with a Captain begins to blossom.
But can love overcome the various obstacles thrown in their way?
And what about the mystery of Kingham’s Folly?
Is Harriet’s tragic family history about to repeat himself?
‘Three Paths To Midnight’ is a thrilling historical adventure from a master story-teller.
It was originally published as ‘Kingham’s Folly’.
