War with their archrival, the evil Ansara clan,
is unavoidable. For Mercy Raintree, a war means
she must assume her position as guardian of the
Sanctuary--the sacred Raintree home place deep
in the Smoky Mountains. But doing so threatens
to disclose her most prized secret--one Mercy
has kept to herself for six years.
As the solstice looms and the battle heats up,
Dranir Judah Ansara gathers his forces, intending
to wipe every Raintree from the face of the land.
Including Mercy, whom he's claimed as his to kill.
Then he comes face-to-face with her--and with her
daughter, Eve. Will Mercy's closely guarded secret
change not only the outcome of the battle--but also
Judah's own bitter heart?
