Think you know about gargoyles? The beautiful winged race disappeared eight hundred years ago. When they last walked the earth, they traveled in close-knit packs, their throats marked with ancient runes. Their greatest enemies were the ugly and brutal harpies that people today mistake for gargoyles.

After surviving a fire, Courage needs to find a lass with the power of magic to heal his terrible scars. When he runs across Lorissa Burns, he thinks the redhead is the perfect girl for the job. But when her touch fails to heal him, he can't figure it out.

Lorissa Burns is a witch, sure enough, even though she doesn't know it. She's even performed magic before, unwittingly. Will her magic be enough to heal the once-beautiful gargoyle? And when danger threatens the two teenagers, will it be enough to save their lives?
