Valiant hearts
*Valiant Hearts* concludes the sweeping World War I saga begun in *Arabian Winds* and continued in *Lions of the Desert*. Having at last declared his love for Allison Wescott, a Christian missionary nurse supporting British troops in Egypt, daring British Intelligence Officer Colonel Bret Holden has disappeared-with a secret treasure from the ancient tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh! Frantic, filled with fear, Allison determines to find him, but before she can do so, she's swept up in the exciting events of the great war breaking across Palestine. It is when she least expects it that she finally finds Bret again. He's wounded-and they become trapped together behind enemy lines near Jerusalem.
