The award-winning author returns to her βwonderfully imaginativeβ* world of HEART FIRE and HEART FORTUNE for an all-new Celta novel about a young womanβs destiny, and the one man whose love could be her downfall.
After the death of GrandLord Yew years ago, the Yews withdrew to their self-sustaining estate and disappeared from Celtan society. The current head of the household is believed to be eighteen- year-old Loridana. To find out, Draeg Blackthorn has been sent to the estate to spy, undercover as a stableman for the stridebeastsβbeautiful creatures that hold a place in Loriβs heart no member of her family ever could.
Bullied by her family, Lori has decided to abandon her bloodline and live on her own with her true familyβher animals. When Draeg discovers sheβs rejecting her heritage, heβs appalled. Heβs come to love the land as much as the woman, even spinning small fantasies of marrying Lori and becoming Lord and Lady of the manor. Draeg wants her to stay and fight her elders. For Lori, itβs an alternative that could render her absolutely powerless to pursue her own destiny, and drive her further away from her perfect dreams and the man she loves, Draeg.
