In the dead of night outside Paris, Antonio, Duke of Auriano is ambushed by a highwayman. The thief steals not only his coin, but also snatches the magical moonstone he wears as protection against the devastating cravings of the Hunger, a consequence of his familyβs curse. Antonio vows to find the thief no matter what and take back what is his before the curse turns him to Shadow forever.
Antonio and Solange come together in a dangerous dance of secrets, thievery, and passion. Hounded by the evil sorceress Nulkana, threatened by the ruthless King of Thieves, menaced by the vicious Marquis de Vernoux, their safety hangs in a precarious balance. Will their burgeoning love and trust in each other be enough to help them come out alive?
From award-winning, historical romance author, Patricia Barletta, comes Moon Shadow, the second novel in the lush and compelling Auriano Curse Series.
