London, 1813 Diane, Lady of Waldon, is devastated… She has just learned that her noble parents have arranged her marriage to the loathsome Marquis of Wilshire. But a glimmer of hope emerges—she has finally laid hands on ancient grimoires written by her bana-bhuidseach ancestors, linked to a clan of Highland sorcerers: the Saint Clares. Her fate cannot be sealed in London—it would kill her. She must escape and find the one place that promises her life and a future worth living: the Circle of the Gods.
