Act of Valour (Knightshill Saga Book 3)

Summer, 1914.

The Ashleigh family gather at Knightshill, their Wiltshire Mansion, to welcome home the black sheep of the family after his twelve year absence.

Vere, the head of the family, awaits the return of his younger brother Val anxiously anticipating the moment when the family can be complete again, bound under the honourable Ashleigh tradition of military valour.

But Valâ€™s intentions are to settle his accounts and return to the outback.

Yet fate is against him ad he must struggle with his own demons as memories thought to be long forgotten come back to haunt him.

When the news of imminent war breaks, the attitudes of the household differ violently threatening to rip apart their bonds before the tragedy has even begun.

Tim, Vereâ€™s nephew, handsome, arrogant and immensely proud of his ancestry, looks forward to following the heroic precedent set by previous generations on the battlefields.

Kate exerts all her efforts in pursuing her nursing career, eager to break male dominance by abandoning the traditionally domestic role of Ashleigh women.

Whilst Val is forced back into the very world he vowed he would never return toâ€¦

In this tragic tale of adventure, love and war, the Ashleigh familyâ€™s attitudes and values are certain to change forever.

The third volume in the three-part Knightshill saga, this is a sweeping historical epic from Elizabeth Darrell, which was originally published under the name of Emma Drummond. Filled with Darrellâ€™s usual compelling mix of danger, passion and heroism set against authentic historical events, â€˜Act of Valourâ€™ continues the story of the colourful Ashleighs of Knightshill which was begun in â€˜A Question of Honourâ€™.

Praise for Elizabeth Darrell:

â€˜A wonderful story, compellingly told...the authenticity - both emotional and historical - really shines throughâ€™ - Sarah Harrison
