An American revolutionary war romance. Rosalie has been an apprentice witch in the home of ancient midwife Alista McCardle for three years, ever since she was rescued by Alista’s nephew, Jacob, from the threat of enslavement. She and Jacob have fallen very much in love, and he is now an officer and surgeon in the Continental Army. When Alista’s second sight shows him falling in battle, Rosalie ventures into the darkest of magicks to save him, risking her own life and even her soul. NOTE: While slavery is a fact of life in the historical context of this story, the heroine is not a slave, and no slave owner is portrayed in a heroic light.
