The Witch Queen of Ravenswild is the most powerful sorceress known to man. The General of the armies of the Light is the most successful military leader in history.
No two enemies are more sworn.
Yet five years ago, Salryanna was no more than a novice bound to the castle's dark order, Callum a conscripted private destined as cannon fodder in some far off war. Young love had never been more forbidden.
Until her betrayal of him destroyed everything. Now he's back, with an army, determined to take Ravenswild and its Queen by conquest. His aim: destroy the demon she's bound to-even if he has to destroy her to do it. Only he's not expecting to find the castle undefended and a Witch Queen who simply lets him in, handing herself over to his control. She's not expecting a man wrestling his empathy against his pain, desperate to understand the past, not merely revenge it. Neither are prepared for the gentle Captain Rorks, determined to restore a semblance of happiness to all their lives.
Callum is not here to save her. Salryanna cannot let him try. For the Demon of Ravenswild has long laid claim to the Witch Queen, and if she hopes to keep Callum and his Captain safe long enough to destroy it, she must see out her destiny. Even if that is damned.
