When Galahad is accused of stealing military rations, Iris strikes a bargain that will spare Galahad’s life…but send him off to the war brewing in Europe. Soon after, she receives news that her brother is among the troops trapped in France by the advancing German army. Refusing to give up hope, Iris devises a desperate plan that will either save both her brother and her best friend—or end in disaster.
