HONG KONG 1950
With the war now over, well-regarded obstetrician Dr Rowena Rossiter, of the Victoria Hospital for Women, is ready to plan her new life with her child and great love, Connor O'Connor. So, when UN Colonel Warrington - who she instantly dislikes, offers her a post at a convent hospital in Korea, she refuses.
But why is he not taking no for an answer? Why does he so desperately want Rowena in Korea?
Her fate seems sealed, when the notorious Kim Pheloung emerges from the shadows to once more endanger her and her daughter's lives.
Ever fearful of Kim, Rowena panics and even with the frightening prospect of war in Korea and her distrust of Colonel Warrington's motives, she decides to flee Kim, Hong Kong and head for Korea. Luck has it that Connor is also posted to Korea.
Only time will tell who and what will pose the greatest danger to Rowena and whether she will find peace, love and get her happy-ever-after.
The brilliant conclusion to the gripping saga set in post-war Hong Kong and Korea featuring Dr Rowena Rossiter
