No Moon at Midnight Gretta Curran Browne

From Venice to Ravenna and on to Pisa and Genoa, Lord Byron's journey through life and Italy continues. But now he is a man sincerely in love with only one woman, living in a quasi-domesticated happiness with her; until his own nation of Britain makes a political request of him - insisting he is the only man who can do it - and so once again he courageously dons the red military uniform of a commissioned British officer, and leaves Italy - knowing the hardest stage of his journey still stretched ahead.

"There was a helplessness about Byron, a sort of abandonment of himself to his destiny, as he called it. He believed in fate. And when fate spoke to him clearly, he always answered the call."-------- Quinnell
