Sometimes a curse can be quelled with spells of protection. Yet a curse born that of demons is a force few reckon with. Katherine deRion has known such horrors. All was well on a routine hunting trip with her elder brothers when Katherine brought the wrath of the wolves upon their family. For every wolf slain; a member of her family shall die as well. Born into the world of 16th century England where witches were burned and heretics persecuted because of their beliefs; Katherine's only hope for solace and survival lies in the hands of an old gypsy woman. Warned of the coming of a mysterious person, Katherine finds herself irrevocably in love with an exotic and entrancing man. Perhaps with him, she can finally seek refuge in the arms of love rather than the embrace of Death.
