“A fascinating tale of reincarnation and redemption” from the New York Times–bestselling author of the Midgard and Fane series (Library Journal).
Though mountain search-and-rescue worker Jesse Copeland is used to risking herself to save others, she must tap into all her reserves of bravery to solve the most haunting mystery of her life: her mother’s puzzling death. Little does Jesse know her investigation will make her the target of two men: a present-day threat and a centuries-old hero . . .
Two hundred years ago, David Ventris, or Lord Ashthorpe, knew Jesse as a woman he had passionately desired—and then betrayed. Now he has a chance to right the wrongs of his past by protecting Jesse from the evil that stalks her. If only he can convince her of his corporeal existence and that he is a man she can love and trust, body and soul.
