Lord Ridley is sent off to America during the war of 1812, by Blakeney, to look into the safety of the Kerr-Hicks family.

Lady Diane joined her cousin Lucy Stewart in a trek from Savannah, Georgia to Fort St. John near New Orleans, where Lucy will join her husband, Captain Robert Steward.
While the dangers of travel to New Orleans provided more adventure than Lady Diane expected, including crossing the Creek Nation, getting back to Savannah, as the war erupts around her is proving to be more challenging than anticipated.
Can Lord Ridley retrieve Lady Diane from Fort St. John? Can he get her back safely, not only to Savannah, but the entire family back to London?
It will take all of Ridley's resources, cunning, and skills to make this mission successful.
