They spend a magical unconventional childhood together but Diana`s ambition, her passion for life that makes her so desirable, pulls her away from all that makes her happy. The fierce friendship that grew inevitably to love, develops as inevitably to conflict and a betrayal that will mark them both until the trials of war offers them redemption.
