Produktbeschreibung

In a world scarred by conflict, where innocence is too often lost to the fires of war, one man's impossible oath becomes the fragile bridge between despair and hope.

Major Moris, a battle worn officer of the French Foreign Legion, has spent a lifetime navigating the dust choked frontiers of Africa. He has witnessed humanity at its darkest, and yet, again and again, he chooses to stand as a shield. To protect. To save. He never expected that a single child, found trembling beneath the lifeless bodies of her parents, would alter the course of his life forever.

Lizette, barely seven years old, becomes that fragile spark of destiny. Pulled from tragedy by a soldier who refuses to let death claim one more soul, she becomes the heartbeat of a story that stretches across continents and years. Through her eyes, through her small hands clutching the uniform of the man who saved her, readers glimpse the profound, life-changing bond forged in the very moment the world falls apart.

Back in France, Vivienne, Moris's wife, fights her own battles. Her journey is quieter, but no less devastating. She waits, she hopes, she endures the long silences of military life, her heart suspended between fear and love. And as the years unfold, as Lizette grows under her care, Vivienne discovers strength, tenderness, and the courage to rebuild a life shattered by distance and duty.

From the African deserts to the French cafés, from UN failures to the quiet heroism of men forgotten by politics, A Promise n' A Shield is an epic human drama that unflinchingly exposes the cost of peacekeeping and the hypocrisy of global powers. Yet it is also a story of family that is not bound by blood but by sacrifice, by compassion, and by the courage to choose love in a loveless hour.

This book blends the emotional intensity of wartime realism with the delicate intimacy of found family. Readers will follow a soldier who carries the weight of the forgotten, a woman who must learn to love through absence, and a child whose future becomes the fragile symbol of everything worth defending.

A story of war. A story of parenthood. A story of the unexpected bonds that save us.

A Promise n' A Shield will break your heart, mend it, and remind you why, even in a world drowning in cruelty, some promises survive, and some shields never fall.
