It is 1915.Sasha Fox is seventeen years old.She lives a privileged life.But her brothers,Edgar and Tom,cannot avoid the war,and Sasha has a terrible gift.She can see the future.
Her premonitions show her the brutal horrors on the battlefields of the Somme - corpse worms crawling over the faces of soldiers soon to die.And worse,they show her what will happen to Edgar and Tom.
Like the prophetess Cassandra,who witnessed a different war on the plains of Troy,Sasha is trapped by her tragic power. Cursed by a fate too awful to bear - for who wants to see the end of their own story . . . ?
