Lyza has grown accustomed to being alone. After all, a witch can never be too careful. People can be superstitious and men can be brutes – warriors being the worst brutes of all. When a beloved family member goes missing in a dangerous land, Lyza engages the services of a warrior brute with a wicked smile and entirely too much charm to act as her guide. Their quest uncovers greater dangers than they ever envisioned and reveals all the secrets of their hearts.
