** First in a new fantasy romance series. **

The nature of his magic, and Council mandate, prevent Caerwyn, Lord of Alwyn, from unleashing his Vengeance on the sorcerer responsible for his parents' murder. Instead, he's forced to go incognito to hunt for justice. His quest leads him to the land of Hara Dale and to the enigmatic Lady of the Dale. Liadan d'Hara, rumored to have unnatural powers linking her to Caerwyn's enemy, may hold the answers he seeks. The closer he gets to Lia, however, the harder it is to believe she's in league with a monster. And the harder it is to keep pretending to be someone he's not.

Lia only wants peace, but her sister's untimely death has forced her into the role of the Lady. A responsibility she is wholly unprepared for. It also left her to deal with an ill-considered betrothal that could plunge the region into war. Fighting to protect her people, the last things Lia needs is a charming stranger digging up secrets better left buried. Even if it seems like he's the only one she can talk to when the weight of her world gets too heavy.

When the power of a stone circle leaves them bound together by a magical connection, Lia and Caewyn struggle to keep their secrets hidden from one another. But darkness is closing in and threatening everything they both love. If they don't learn to trust one another and fight together, the world itself may fall to a sorcerous tyrant.
