Book Four in Lyn Armstrong's Celtic Series: Cursed to live alone inside a mystical mountain, Drucilla survives by one source of magick: the legendary staff of Merlin. It brings light to the darkness, food and shelter, granting her every desire except the warm touch of a man. However, an evil presence lurks in the shadows, waiting and watching while a wizard plots to steal the only thing keeping Drucilla alive... Merlin's staff. The quest for Merlin's staff is more than an obsession-it consumes Bryan Ambrosius' every waking thought. Being the descendant of Merlin has brought with it only legends and swooning maidens. He needs the staff to restore his ancestral powers. If he fails, ill fortune will plague his family for eternity and he will never be the powerful wizard he was destined to be. Will a determined wizard save a defiant sorceress from a secret demise only he can foresee? Or will he sacrifice the heart of his quest for the heart of an enemy...the lady of the mountain?
