In her most compelling novel yet, bestselling author Emma
Holly takes readers on a breathtaking journey from the
twentieth century to the Middle Ages, where a woman must
help a hardened warrior face his most formidable
enemy...
For years, mercenary captain Christian Durand
has done everything he can to protect his men from the
abuses of his power-hungry father. When a beautiful ghost
appears to offer comfort, he assumes the strain has finally
pushed him over the edge. The specter claims she's his
friend from another life--a tale the cynical soldier finds
difficult to believe. All he knows for certain is that she
tugs at both his heart and desires.
Grace Gladwell has her
own experience with abusive fathers. Thanks to an accident
involving her own, one moment she is in America in 1950, the
next, she's in 1460 in Switzerland, trying to convince a
medieval soldier that she's neither a figment of his
imagination nor an imp from hell. Grace's life has never let
her have a friend before, yet she wants so much more from
Christian.
These would be challenges enough without
vampire queen Nim Wei setting her immortal sights on
Christian. When she threatens to help his father destroy
them all, Christian must choose between his darker urges and
a powerful love that spans centuries...
