Her employer's nephew, thought long dead in the Battle of Tel-el-Kebir in Egypt, returns to Portland to claim his property. Amity is happy to return to her former position, but she is soon confronted with knowledge that all is not well with the former soldier. His loud nightmares reveal that he once had a different name and a dead wife, and as Amity finds herself falling in love with him, she is pulled into a world of intrigue that soon threatens her life. THE FIVE VIRTUES ANTHOLOGY is the story of five orphaned girls, all former inmates of the Verwood House Orphanage in Melbourne. When another inmate is drowned, all five stand accused of murder, and they flee for their lives. Over a decade later, each girl is now a young woman, but each finds herself with yet another battle to fight, and with her survival again in jeopardy.
