Love is a spell you cast upon yourself.

As a knight in the service of Bohemund I, the magic of love is as mystical to Rannulf as any other sort of witchcraft. His life is centered around tactics and training, and his focus has made him Bohemund's most trusted adviser as well as his most valiant warrior. Now, his liege has led him to the great city of Antioch where they will fight a battle against one of the greatest foes Rannulf has ever faced; a Turkish enchantress with the power to rain fire from the sky and bewitch a man with one look.

From his very first sight of her, Rannulf knows he has been caught in her spell. His thoughts shift away from war to center on her. His chest fills with a sensation he's never felt before and his hands ache to touch her. Even as she lays waste to his army, he dreams of holding her. There is only one solution; he must conquer the city and its beautiful enchantress.

Ayla isn't the almighty sorceress her enemies believe her to be. She's more alchemist than enchantress, using a blend of magic and science to craft her spells. If she were that powerful, she wouldn't be imprisoned by the Grand Vizier of Antioch and forced to use her talents against men she has no quarrel with. Especially one man, who invaded her dreams long before he invaded her land. Ayla gave up on love the moment she was enslaved, but when he looks at her, she feels the stirring of something great. Something destined.

As their worlds crash together with the clang of swords, Rannulf and Ayla collide in a far more passionate battle; one that will end in love more powerful than any magic or a tragedy that neither will survive.

From the award-winning author of the Godhunter Series comes a unique historical romance that will mesmerize you.
