Summary:
Luke Winslow, American fighter pilot, selflessly goes to battle for the freedom of others in Spain's Civil War. In the process, however, he loses at love-and abandons his faith in God. Adding to his heartache is the death of an old friend in a tragic accident for which Luke blames himself. He tries to make amends by reaching out to his friend's sister, Joelle, and soon falls in love with her. With the outbreak of World War 11, Luke takes to the air again, vowing to defeat his old nemesis from the war in Spain, a German ace known as the Black Knight. As the intensity-and the danger-of the air war escalates, will Luke turn to his only true refuge?
