Stripped of her ancient powers and her mortality when she uses her abilities to destroy, Nuala, a witch whose job is to bring lovers together, has spent more than two centuries trying, unsuccessfully, to atone for her actions. Now the widow of an English lord, she is confronted by a man she thought she'd never see again, the dangerous Earl of Donnington, who blames her for his brother's death two years earlier. Soon a vicious force strikes at Nuala through the earl, threatening not only their blossoming love but their lives as well. VERDICT Darkly intense, intricately plotted, and chilling, this sexy tale skillfully interweaves several time periods, revealing key past elements with perfect timing but keeping the reader firmly in the novel's "present" social scene. The third in Krinard's faery-infused Fane series. Krinard ("Lord of Legends") lives in New Mexico.
