Time is running out and he sees only one way to defeat the
Sisterhood of the Silver Rose, a coven of witches
committing atrocious horrors and that has crafted a
poisonous stiletto with a silver flower engraved on the
hilt. No matter what it takes, Simon Aristide intends to
find the witch leading this coven and put a stop to her
ungodly crimes. Unless the Silver Rose gets to him first.
Simon needs to seek the help of another witch, for he's
struck against an enemy too powerful, too clever in the
dark ways for one man to defeat. He must swallow his pride
and seek the aid of the woman he's already betrayed before,
the one woman who's never escaped his heart...Miribelle
Cheney.
After her two sisters were forced into exile for sorcery
and treason, Miri returned to Faire Isle to live a quiet
life in the woods with her dearest friends -- the animals.
Sometimes she feels like a part of her is waiting, longing
for a time and place where fathers never disappear, mothers
do not die young, sisters are not torn apart and the
handsome boy one loved and trusted did not turn out to be a
dangerous adversary.
But Simon has returned and seeks her help. What kind of
daughter of the earth would she be if she refused to help
him? There's a madwoman attempting to raise an army of
witches, threatening innocent lives and defying all the
goodness and harmony the daughters of the earth hold dear.
May God help us all, she must be stopped.
This is a strange union, Miri and Simon, the witch and the
witch hunter. Simon has been struggling to resist the
darkness for so long and he is tired...so, so tired. All
Miri wants to do is love him. She's always been the good
one, the one constant in his life, and Simon is afraid to
infect her with his darkness. But Miri is strong enough for
both of them. All Simon needs do is open his arms and let
her in.

From Brittany’s fog-shrouded forests to the elegant dark
heart of Paris’s royal court, one woman must challenge a
country’s destiny–and her own dangerous fate.
France, 1585. She is the youngest and most powerful of
the “Sisters of Faire Isle,” women known far and wide for
their extraordinary mystical abilities. Skilled in healing
and able to forecast the future of those around her, Miri
Cheney has returned to her ancestral home to take refuge
from a land devastated by civil war–and to grieve for her
family, driven to exile. But she cannot hide from the
formidable new power threatening to seize control of France
from the dread “Dark Queen,” Catherine de Medici–a
diabolical woman known only as the Silver Rose. Miri has no
choice but to turn to the one man she distrusts as much as
she desires: Simon Aristide, the charismatic witch-finder
who is now himself the hunted, and who has reluctantly made
an unholy pact with Catherine. Miri must defy throne and
family to save all that she loves most–and command a future
greater than she could ever imagine.
Vibrant with stunning historical detail, alive with
characters as richly passionate as they are compelling, The
Silver Rose is a sweeping, exquisitely wrought tale from a
mesmerizing storyteller.
