Publisher's Synopsis
Things aren't always what they seem to be in a small town in the Land of Ath-o'Lea. Magic creeps in the shadows, waiting to pounce... Corporal Bronwyn Darrow vows he'll never fall victim to love again after the woman he adored betrays him. He directs his energies to rising in the ranks of Aruam Castle, aspiring to one day command as captain of the guards. Although he treasures his home and family, he is blinded both by his desire to succeed and a mysterious magic lurking in the shadows of the ancient castle. Alaura of Niamh, a half-breed enchantress with a deadly past, takes refuge in Bronwyn's hometown. When the two meet, the spell which binds them is stronger than their fears of falling in love. As Alaura's secrets threaten to separate them forever, outside forces attempt to shatter the security of Aruam Castle and eliminate Bronwyn. When an orphan weaves their lives together, they embark on a journey destined to either destroy or deliver them to the passion burning in their hearts.
