A warrior with no memory of her own past rides into a world of vanishing kingdoms, ancient hordes, and a curse that follows everyone who loves her.

In the shadow of a reclusive aristocrat's manor, love and immortality tangle in a household built on secrets, and on the blood that binds it.

Disguised, shanghaied, and bound for the southern waters aboard the pirate ship Intrepid, Anna Lawrence discovers that survival and love are rarely won the same way twice.

A reimagining of the classic tale for readers who know a happily-ever-after has to be earned, not given.
