by love Since she was ten Elizabeth had been forced to give way to the
men in her life. First her father, a lonely, selfish widower who needed
his daughter as his companion, then Adam, her middle-aged husband, who
carried her off to the brittle world of Hong Kong society, ignoring the
burning musical talent that she constantly had to repress. And then she
met Raefe Elliot, womaniser, soldier of fortune, who repeatedly rocked

be forever destroyed, Elizabeth at last found happiness - in her love,
and in her progress as a musician. And then the thunder of a savage and
terrifying battle broke over her life, and she and Raefe became
fugitives in a war-torn world.
