King Oberon reigned over his Dark Court in Lyonesse for
centuries, until an assassination attempt laid him low.
Now he lies unconscious in his snow-bound palace, while
his Power battles the enchantment that threatens to end
his life.
A skilled trauma surgeon and magic-user, Dr. Kathryn Shaw
reigns at the top of her profession in New York. Then
comes a challenge she can’t resist—she is asked to cure
the uncureable. Just getting close enough to try healing
Oberon is a dangerous proposition. When she does reach
him, he awakens too soon.
Roused from darkness by Kathryn’s presence, Oberon
confronts the beautiful stranger who claims she wants to
save his life. But the enchantment has frozen his
emotions. How can he learn to trust her when he can’t feel
anything?
Oberon’s desire is icy, devoid of all tenderness. Not only
must Kathryn match wits with him, she must also fight her
reaction to his touch, because there is so much more at
stake than her own endangered heart.
For the Dark Court faces its most deadly peril yet. Its
ancient enemy Isabeau, Queen of the Light Court, is
obsessed with its annihilation, and Oberon must be brought
to remember his loyalty and affection for his people.
Because if he won’t fight for them, Lyonesse itself may
very well be destroyed…
