A stolen bridegroom. A determined bride. A love that will defy both Heaven and Hell.
Valera couldn't have known the disaster that would fall when she betrayed her husband by looking at his face by candlelight. Now, it's too late - he is taken from her to some faraway world. She doesn't know where. She doesn't know why. She doesn't even know who kidnapped him. But she will save him. No matter what. Neither adventurous nor skilled with weapons like her younger sister, Valera nonetheless sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. An adventure that will take her journeying through worlds and confronting perils she is desperately unprepared to face...until, at last, she comes to the dark and twisted palace standing on the edge of Hell. Is her love of Erolas strong enough to sustain her? Or will the final test prove too great?
