Has he abandoned her or is he dead? While Evie waits for news, other men are returning, wounded and broken, from the front. One of these is the Bairds’ son, Andrew. Evie befriends him, but she cannot prevent him from falling under the evil influence of fellow servant, Effie Jordan. Then when Davie returns, Evie finds her love for him must be tested to its limits … Feuds are formed, hearts are wrecked but despite the devastation of the war, friendships are made that will never be broken. King’s Exile is a tale of family life and romance during the devastation of war.
