To Lady Mirade, it seems a simple task: abduct the sorcerer son of her clan's greatest enemy and persuade him to teach her the magic she needs to defend her family and her keep. She never expects her greatest battle to be against the forbidden desire that burns between them.

The Lord Sorcerer Lorien's task is to escape and return to his own clan so they can resume their feud. But even as he remains Mirade's prisoner, he finds himself enchanted by her determination and passion to protect her people.

As they grow ever closer, finding a way to resolve the feud so they can be together may prove to be the most impossible task of all.
