A Strange Turn of Fortune is the first novel in the saga, The Eagle and the Lion
by Laurel Robinson.
American, Anne Morgan is on her first sea voyage to England when her ship is badly damaged in a storm. She is thrown ashore and finds herself stranded on a French beach shortly after the end of the
Napoleon's final rampage through Europe. She is rescued by a regiment of British
Riflemen; members of The Prince Consort's Own 95th Regiment of Foot. It is led
by the handsome dashing Major John Hamilton, a recent widower whose unhappy
marriage left him with a jaundice view of women. With the help of his best friend,
Regimental Sergeant Major Daniel Browne, the two are wed, thus beginning the
saga of these unforgettable characters as they chart their way through the highs and
lows of life, love, and the complicated societal norms of post Napoleonic England
and America.
