Description
Werner, a popular German novelist whose tales filled American parlors in translation, wrote this romance, published in Chicago and New York in 1888. The first chapter opens after a night of storm at sea. A steamer that has fought wind and waves runs into a sheltered harbor under a citadel on a rocky height.
In the bow stands a young officer of the Austrian Imperial Chasseurs, spyglass in hand, scanning the picturesque town. Danira, whose name titles the book, waits in that town's story of love and duty on the Empire's southern edge. Readers get a storm-tossed opening to a tale of soldiers and hearts.
