Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in Cesarine, forsaking magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches are hunted, feared and burned. Reid Diggory, a huntsman of the Church, has lived by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation: marriage. With feelings she cannot ignore and a nature she cannot change, Lou must make a choice, and love makes fools of us all.
