Josette de Moreau, a powerful, gifted witch known to society as Elegance "Ella" St. James, the widowed Countess of Lanshire, has left the coven at Lavender House and is focusing on finding a man to father her child—an unappealing, undemanding one, unlike the disconcertingly attractive Sir Drake. She is also quietly seeking a murderer. But so is Sir Drake, and as they draw closer to the truth, the danger from an insidious evil threatens their lives and their growing love. This well-told, darkly magical tale of secrets, deception, witchcraft, and power is the first mesmerizing volume of Greiman's promising "Witches of Mayfair" trilogy. The author (Unmanned ) lives in rural Minnesota.
