The elegant Ladies of Haga Manor series continues with Helena von Burghausen, who is destined to save her family and her fortune in the turmoil of 18th century war.

How long can love last?

It is the autumn of 1790. Helena von Burghausen, a freeholder, receives her husband Erik Leijonhufvud home from the war against Gustavus III. Her husband has changed, his joy and happiness are gone. When Erik buys Haga Manor from the conspicuous lands of Häme, Helena puts all her hopes in a new beginning. She craves love just as her son Axel and daughters Louise, Erica, Margaret and Hedda crave their father’s attention.

But there are already black clouds in the eastern sky: the Finnish war is coming and will soon spread its tentacles to every part of the country.
