Book Synopsis

Love claimed him beyond death-and magic may never let him go.

"One of the best books I ever read!" -Megan L. O'Neal

Annie and Richard were sweethearts from childhood, bound by a love filled with tenderness, passion, and joy-until the day Richard died saving a busload of children, leaving Annie pregnant, grieving, and utterly alone. Or so she believed.

Before Death could claim him, magic intervened.

Richard was taken to the hidden Realms of Rush, where heroes are forged and legends are born. Trained in the Hall of Heroes, stripped of his memories, he returns to the mortal world as something new-a modern knight charged with protecting a woman he does not recognize... and her unborn child.

But Annie knows the truth.

Despite the spells meant to disguise him, despite the magic that says he is no longer hers, Annie sees through it all. Richard is alive. He is her husband. And she will make him remember the love they once shared.

Even if magic itself stands in her way.

Because the power that claimed Richard wants him back. And magic does not surrender its champions easily.

"A love more powerful than magic" becomes more than a promise-it becomes Annie's only hope.

"Elements of both The Stand by Stephen King and the movie The Terminator, with all the magic and wonder of a Disney fairy tale. Maggie Shayne weaves a mesmerizing tale of true love that is sure to enchant readers everywhere." -Maudeen Wachsmith (A Top 1000 Reviewer)
