Immediately, Lucinda senses both a raw power and undeniable intensity in the imposing man.</p><p></p><p>But as a nearly overwhelming desire blooms between Caleb and Lucinda, they are drawn into the dark heart of a deadly conspiracy that can be traced to the early days of the Arcane Society—and to a legacy of madness that could plunge Caleb into the depths of his own tortured soul.…</p><p></p>
