The De Witt Family series by Kate Williams is a historical fiction trilogy published between 2014 and 2018. The books follow the De Witt family through the turmoil of World War I and its long aftermath, with each novel advancing the timeline and revealing new complications.
The Storms of War (2014) establishes the family on the eve of the Great War, The Edge of the Fall (2015) picks up the pieces when the fighting ends, and The House of Shadows (2018) moves into darker territory as old secrets catch up with the surviving family members. Williams brings her historian’s eye for period detail to the series, grounding the family drama in accurate depictions of the era.
