London, 22 October 1916. Sebastian Trewby has only a short leave before returning to his flying squadron, but Helen Sanford has disappeared after the events that separated them. He searches railway stations, hospitals and the city’s wartime networks, determined to find her before duty carries him away again. His conviction that he can protect Helen is complicated by the social power attached to his own name and by the damage association with her could cause to his military career.

Helen understands that her German heritage makes her vulnerable to suspicion, official scrutiny and popular hostility. Remaining hidden may protect Sebastian, yet it also leaves her dependent on friends willing to defy family pressure and the authorities. The conclusion to the duet follows the pair through the British home front and the developing air war, asking whether love can survive when protection, sacrifice and personal freedom point in different directions.
