For generations, legend had stalked the battlements of the fortress Montslvat. And now Alienor de Perpignan found herself promised in marriage to the man at the heart of the oft-whispered tales: Dagobert, Count de Pereille. A near-mythic being rumored to be a beast by day- and more than a man by night! That Alienor was his true-destined bride, Dagoert de Pereille had no doubt. Indeed, with her exotic beauty and blade−bright spirit, she could be none other. But could he who bore the mark− and the curse− of ancient kings ever trust her enough to open his heart?
