Great Shadow
A Great Shadow falls across Europe, and in a quiet border village between England and Scotland, three young lives are about to be swept into its path. Jock Calder has known only peace in his rural community, but when a mysterious stranger arrives on the shores near his home, everything changes. This stranger carries with him the weight of Europe's turmoil, and soon Jock, his cousin Edie, and his best friend Jim find themselves marching toward the field at Waterloo, where the fate of nations will be decided. Conan Doyle, before he gave the world Sherlock Holmes, demonstrates his mastery of adventure in this gripping tale of friendship, love, and the collision between ordinary lives and extraordinary historical forces. The shadow that looms over Europe is both literal and metaphorical: a darkness of ambition and war that threatens to consume everything these characters hold dear. Yet at its heart, this is a story about what endures when the cannons fall silent.
