"Major Lord Frederick FitzHugh, second son of the Marquis of Fowey has to leave The Life Guards due to his heavy losses with Lloyds. His future is as uncertain as the future of Foxhunting which Frederick loves. The other love of his life is his hot-blooded Slovenian girl-friend, Katerina, a career journalist. Katerina's cousin, the beautiful and passionate Grafin Tatiana Czerny struggles desperately in the northern Balkans to keep her estate and Schloss Lippitz. Her husband was tortured to death in the Bosnian Civil War. Wolves, disturbed by the fighting, are once again roaming the mountains of Slovenia. The fast-moving action switches between the ceremonial splendour of The Household Cavalry, the landed Gentry at play in the Hunting Shires and the gruesome battlefields of Bosnia." .
