Book 2: Tortured Souls Series
Blackburn Castle
An ancient curse. A repentant man. And a witch without mercy.
Victor Blackburn is living on borrowed time. An ancient curse will claim his life, and his only chance of survival is a witch who vanished long ago without a trace.
Mercy Seymour eagerly counts down the days until the curse will claim Blackburn’s life. She witnessed his treacherous deed, and only his death will free her of the hatred and anger she harbors.
But when fate throws them together and he spirits her away to Blackburn Castle, forces of magic and mists from beyond the grave open her eyes to the truth of the past. As Victor and Mercy unearth the fabled stones needed to break the curse, they discover that the only weapon powerful enough to destroy hate is love. But will they have to sacrifice their relationship to save what means the most to them?
