It is difficult enough for Duvalla and Kresh to protect their young family in a world of powerful creatures, but this feat proves near impossible when an old witch bent on vengeance casts a Tarishe curse that manipulates both heart and mind. The battle is not only with a sword but an internal struggle to love the ones that Duvalla has sworn under a spell to hate, and to hate the one who through evil enchantment manipulates her heart.
Meanwhile, Catherine fights every Hallows Eve to protect her village from creatures of the night. She has sworn to avenge the deaths of loved ones, but a witch’s curse proves to be a stumbling block impossible to overcome.
