The New York Times-bestselling author of The Hidden Heart delivers "pure magic from beginning to end" in this unforgettable Victorian romance (Nora Roberts).
The Shadow is wealthy, powerful and majestically handsome, he is a man of dark secrets -- a master of the ancient martial arts of an exotic distant land. Scarred by a childhood of shocking degradation, he has sworn to love chastely... but burns with the fires of unfulfilled passion.
The Star is lovely, innocent and nearly destitute, and drawn to him by a fevered yearning she could never deny -- following her enigmatic "shadow warrior" into a dangerous world of desire and righteous retribution.
