Lucia's father is slain before her eyes. Her keep is overrun by wolves' heads. Desperate to protect what remains of her homelands, she flees to a neighboring keep to plead for support. She nearly reaches safety when a vicious ambush leaves her near death. Stephen, foster son of Lord Edmund, shepherds the valiant swordswoman through her hallucinations and fevers. As she heals, he finds himself drawn to her strength, her honor, and her courage. But he knows without a doubt that she cannot be his. When Ian, the nobleman's son and heir, decides that Lucia is the perfect target for his lecherous desires, Stephen finds himself caught in the most primal of battles - one which pits brother against brother, and father against son. All proceeds from sales of Lisa Shea's medieval novels benefit battered women's shelters.
