Florence Nightingale - The Calling

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

The Lady with the Lamp was not born in legend—she was forged in the shadows of Scutari.

Before she became one of history's most celebrated figures, Florence Nightingale was a woman who defied her family's expectations, the Army's hostility, and the horrors of the Crimean War. In The Calling, the first book of a sweeping trilogy, discover the untold story of how one woman's relentless courage and unshakable faith turned chaos into order, despair into hope, and a flickering lamp into an eternal flame.

Walk the filthy wards of Scutari where disease claimed more lives than battle, witness her clashes with hostile surgeons and generals, and stand beside her as she faces slander, exhaustion, and near death herself. Through it all, Florence's lamp shines—an unbroken light that will ignite reform across an empire.

A gripping blend of historical accuracy, emotional intimacy, and page-turning suspense, The Calling brings Florence Nightingale's remarkable journey to life in a way you've never experienced before.

For readers of Ken Follett, James Michener, and Louisa May Alcott, this is not just the story of a nurse—it is the story of a woman answering destiny's call.
