Merry Owen lives in a farmhouse in the shadow of the Black Castle, the wild Welsh home of her family's arch enemies, the de Courcys, and their son, James. Merry and James defy their families' ancient feud and fall in love. But the past runs through Merry like blood. And when it catches up with her, it sweeps her back to a terrifying world where she has only her wit and her longbow as weapons. She must decide if she is ready to spill that blood. A thrilling fantasy of lost worlds, courage, love and enmity.
