Madness reigned…

…in Sainte Marie des Monts, France – a land where legends and fairy tales lived… a place where no one was safe.

Summoned to the foreboding castle of master illusionist Cesare LaFortune to witness his greatest magical feat, Karoline O’Connor entered a world of madness.

Resembling a sorceress who died centuries ago, Karoline was feared and hated by the villagers – and her only hope of survival was Nicolas Demos, Cesare’s blood relative.

Nicolas, too, had been commanded to appear at the magician’s fortress – what was his role in the macabre setup? Did Karoline dare trust a man whose power to look deep into her soul was both frightening and exciting?
