Where the Path Breaks

A soldier awakens from a coma eight months after a devastating battlefield injury, fragmented memories slowly returning like pieces of a shattered mirror. Among the haze of pain and confusion, one face haunts him—a young woman who married him on his last day before battle, a desperate act of wartime compassion. But when he discovers she has since remarried, believing him dead, the scarred soldier makes a fateful decision: he will reinvent himself entirely, assume a new identity, and forge a completely different life. Where the Path Breaks by Captain Charles de Créspigny explores the profound consequences of this choice through a gripping historical romance spanning post-World War I Britain. As the mysterious stranger navigates his transformed existence, the shadows of his past persistently encroach upon his present, raising an essential question: can a man truly escape who he once was? With each chapter, de Créspigny masterfully unveils how the weight of lost love, hidden identity, and personal redemption intersect in unexpected and unforgettable ways. This timeless tale resonates with readers drawn to character-driven narratives that blend romance with psychological depth. Perfect for listeners seeking literary fiction that examines identity, sacrifice, and second chances, Where the Path Breaks offers an emotionally rich escape into an era of profound human transformation.
