New York Times bestselling author Gaelen
Foley leads readers on a magical journey to a fairytale land
where good battles evil, adventure beckons the daring, and
epic love awaits the true of heart.
Resolutely noble, impossibly brave, paladin Sir Thaydor
Clarenbeld serves as royal champion for the kingdom of
Veraidel. But when the king becomes corrupt, Thaydor speaks
out—and promptly ends up banished from court, sent off as a
knight errant on an endless round of quests meant to get him
killed. One mission nearly does. Covered in wounds after a
monstrous battle, he lies at death’s door when rescue
arrives in the form of the beautiful, mystic healer known as
the Maid of the Mount.
The lady Wrynne du Mere gave up a luxurious life to devote
herself to caring for others. When she finds the famous hero
broken and bleeding, saving him will take all her skill—and
a fateful dash of magic. And it will cost her dearly. For
the dangerous spell will leave their souls forever entwined,
and his foes, so many and so powerful, will target her, as
well. Wrynne knows to survive and restore justice to the
land, they must join forces. But for how long can they
resist the searing temptation of desire?
