The Allies
A world on the brink of total war. A family torn apart across three continents. And a secret network of shadows that could alter the course of human history.
May 1, 1915 The pride of the Cunard Line, the RMS Lusitania, departs New York amid a cloud of German threats. For Emily Morgan and her daughter Katy, an aspiring nurse, it was supposed to be a pleasant voyage across the Atlantic. But in a heartbeat, a singular, terrifying cry shatters the afternoon sun: TORPEDO! Plunged into a nightmare of fire and churning water, mother and daughter are violently separated as the great ship slips into the deep.
Back in Washington, D.C., Jesse Morgan, summoned to the Oval Office by President Woodrow Wilson, is given a perilous mission: infiltrate a ruthless German sabotage ring operating in New York City.
Meanwhile, the rebellious and reckless Johnny Morgan has run away from his father’s strict expectations. From executing death-defying emergency landings in New Mexico, to pulling off rogue stunts before the President himself, Johnny’s unrivaled instinct as a pilot earns him his wings. And as he ships out to fly against Germany’s celebrated aces in the bloody skies of France, his sister Katy chooses an equally dangerous lifestyle. Driven by the ultimate sacrifice of legendary martyrs like Edith Cavell, Katy throws herself into the mud of the Western Front as a volunteer ambulance driver.
From the elegant dining salons of luxury liners to the high-stakes espionage of Washington and the bullet-shattered fields of France, this sweeping, historical epic chronicles an unforgettable saga of unbreakable family bonds.
