Your greatest enemy isn't what you fight, but what you fear.
Elizabeth
Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out
witchcraft and doling out justice. But when she's accused of being a
witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to burn at the stake.
Salvation
comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most
powerful and dangerous wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will
save her from execution if she can break the deadly curse that's been
laid upon him.
But Nicholas and his followers know nothing of
Elizabeth's witch hunting past--if they find out, the stake will be the
least of her worries. And as she's thrust into the magical world of
witches, ghosts, pirates, and one all-too-handsome healer, Elizabeth is
forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies,
and of love and hate.
