Adventure, intrigue and suspense during Napoleon's forlorn retreat from Russia in 1813. As Napoleon's army retreats through Germany, a group of stragglers plunder the Von Hugel estate, leaving Sonia von Hugel apparently alone in the castle.

But then there appears a mysterious stranger, called Charles Vincent, who leads Sonia and her wounded friend into safety, and from there into further adventure.
