In ancient Pretania, peace has come with a price—the separation of soulmates.

For twenty-two years, Málik Danann has clung to the memory of Gwendolyn of Cornwall. But with the Shadow Court threatening to strip him of his crown unless he takes a bride, time is running thin. The realm demands an heir. His people demand a queen. And yet, how can he surrender to duty when his heart still belongs to another...

It’s her dark night of the soul…
When Dori returns to her hometown of Crescent Cove Vermont on the shore of Lake Champlain, she has lost everything. Her job, her money, and her faith. Once a revered Wiccan High Priestess, she doesn’t even believe in magic anymore. She feels adrift, without direction or clarity. Her entire focus is on landing another job that will restore her to the life she had before and take her back to the city.

The lady in search of her past
Laine has lived her life not knowing who her real family was before she arrived in Philadelphia as a small child, along with hundreds of children who filled the orphan trains that traveled to the East. All she has is the name that was written on a piece of paper pinned to her dress--Dalton--the name of a notorious outlaw gang written about in the dime novels, with prices on their heads, responsible for dozens of deaths in the lawless West.

Now a man has entered her life who may have the answers to the questions she's had her whole life--Who is she? What happened to her family? How did she get there? If she's brave enough, strong enough to follow him into the dangerous Oklahoma Territory where the Dalton name means blood and death.
