"The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. XX. No. 1002, March 11, 1899" by Various is a magazine filled with stories and articles aimed at young women during the late 1800s. One particular story, "Our Hero," drops us right into the Franco-English War, where a young man named Roy is locked in a prison. Burdened with the recent death of his friend Will Peirce, Roy is overcome with sadness and desperate to know what happened to his other friends.

This moment of hope ignites a daring plan, pushing Roy to face danger head-on as he grieves for Will and hopes for the safety of his comrades.
