Summary
1918.The war is over, but for Flora Green, the battle never truly ended. A nurse hardened by the trenches of France, she returns to Small Heath with nightmares in her head and steady hands that never shake when stitching bullet wounds—no questions asked.
When a brawl at The Garrison puts her face-to-face with Thomas Shelby, Flora makes a decision that changes everything. One calm confrontation with Arthur Shelby later, she's caught the attention of the most dangerous family in Birmingham. Tommy's proposition is simple: three pounds weekly to be their personal nurse. It's enough money to eventually escape Small Heath forever, but the price isn't measured in currency alone.
As she moves between worlds—blending modern medicine with her mother's Romani remedies—Flora finds herself drawn into Tommy's orbit. But in a neighborhood where respectability matters and Tommy's women come with their own histories, Flora must decide how close to the fire she's willing to stand.

Summary
Birmingham, 1919. The Shelby brothers have just returned home from the war and a restless Tommy Shelby attempts to grow the family business to better their lives and fulfill his ambitions.

The world does not look kindly on either of them trying to rise above what society would deem appropriate for their respective class or gender.
One night, the two cross paths when Tommy shoots the white horse he purchased from Johnny Dogs.

Summary
"Give me one good fucking reason why I shouldn't shoot you," Tommy said, his voice low.
The girl blinked at him. With the certain tone of someone who already knew the outcome of a bet, she said, "This is your horse now, right? You know that he's sick, cursed by an old baba and infected by a seed.
"Well, he's my little brother. And I'm going to cure him."
Tommy's lashes fell low over his eyes, pensive. He lowered the gun.
She may have been crazy, but gypsy witches generally were. It was as good a fucking reason as any.
