No longer a princess, but Queen Regent until her son comes of age, Carolin wrestles with her courtiers and advisors who seethe with indignation at a female on the throne. But during one long restless night, a woman appears to her in a dream – or is it a vision?
But the queen has been betrayed. One of her councilors, too cowardly to perform the duty himself, arranges for her capture and transportation to a place from which she can never return.
But she doesn’t die.
She is a survivor.
As a gale howls around the small turret in her fortress prison, the queen hears her name, “Carolin.” Though close to death and convinced she’s hallucinating, she escapes and arrives in a utopia. And there she meets the stranger from her dream.
But this is no ordinary woman.
She is an enchantress named Iona.
Though wary at first, Carolin cannot deny her attraction to Iona. And as her resistance crumbles, and arousal overwhelms reason, the queen gives in to her longing. She and the sorceress engage in a steamy entanglement where they captivate and mesmerize one another, and each one hopes it will continue for an eternity.
Sumptuous feasts, luxurious surroundings, lush gardens and a tinkling waterfall provide the setting for Carolin and Iona’s dalliance. Yet both women are prisoners in their own way, and as they struggle to escape the bonds of patriarchy and jealousy, Carolin learns the truth about her imprisonment.
But can she rescue Iona from her solitary existence? Or must she do her duty and save the kingdom?
