The Locket is the story of a talisman of war, linking three people to its assumed power of luck. Elizabeth Clarke struggling to run the family steel mill in a world dominated by men gives her brother a silver locket as he heads off to war in 1917. Jeremy Clarke, and later Captain Robert Rainey, cling to the locket as a symbol of a world outside the death and destruction of the Western Front. But as the war ends, there are dark forces at play.

Elizabeth’s father Jonathan, missing in Russia since 1917, sends word he is alive and needs assistance moving a valuable ‘package’ out of Russia.

The dark forces move against them, leading to Jeremy’s death on the eve of the expedition. Elizabeth is left to carry on . But the magic of the locket brings her together with Captain Rainey. Together with their small army, they plunge into the maelstrom of the Russian Civil War to face warlords, anarchists, monarchists, Bolsheviks, and Cossacks.

But there is a traitor in their midst who is the eyes and ears of a dangerous man who knows the Mission will lead him to Jonathan Clarke and the precious ‘package’.
