A Soul Forged in Silence - Volume 1: From Royal Childhood to Ex-ile - 1885 to 1922 A Historical Biographical Novel of Princess Alice of Greece, née Battenberg, Mother of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh

She was born into privilege-deaf, brilliant, but forgotten.
Before she became the mother of Prince Philip, Princess Alice of Battenberg lived a life few could imagine: raised in the shadow of her great-grandmother Queen Victoria, navigating the royal courts of Europe, and confronting the silence that shaped her world from birth. Trained in lip reading in four languages, Alice defied expectations. She married a Greek prince, embraced a foreign land, and stood firm through war, exile, and the collapse of empires. But as Europe tore itself apart during the First World War, her own world began to unravel-until her voice, her sanity, and her family were all at risk. In this sweeping, intimate novel based on historical facts, A Soul Forged in Silence reveals the extraordinary early life of a woman who would one day defy the Nazis, find solace in faith, and become one of the most quietly courageous royals of the twentieth century.
A forgotten princess. A fractured Europe... and a brave soul forged in silence.
