1919 in Paris. And as the guns fall silent, people attempt to start afresh while the fabric of Europe is stitched together for good or ill.
Stella Rutherford, desperate to staunch her grief, has thrown herself into her work at the International Peace Conference, while the crucial negotiations play out.
Her sister Corran is also headed to France where the wounds of war are still fresh for many, including her fiancé Rob Campbell.
Rob, one of the few surviving members of a celebrated Scottish rugby team, has been profoundly marked by his time as a surgeon on the front line.
What comes next for each of them?
