Excerpt from Sirona
Ty stepped away from the Cleary lass, much to
Rhain’s relief. He had been on his way to Father Baen’s apothecary when he
rounded the corner and found Sirona in the man’s arms. The monster, dormant
most days, rose up within him. If he had had a weapon, he would have attacked
Ty on the spot. Rhain curled and uncurled his fists, ready to beat the life out
of him.

“Doona fret, cousin. The lass is safe.”
“’Twas no’ her safety I was worried about.”
Ty fixed him with a look, the look of an elder who
knew so much more about the world, despite his much younger mien. “Perhaps, ye
should be. I caught Fergus assailing her, his intentions less than noble. If I
had not come along when I did…”

had not come along when I did…”
Fury, violent and ferocious, welled up within him.
“I’ll kill him,” he ground out through clenched teeth.”

Sirona seemed to get her bearings and spoke up.
“Please, Rhain. I doona want to cause a rift betwixt you and yer brother.” She
looked at Ty and placed a hand on his arm. “Thank you,” she said.

Rhain crossed the distance and put one arm around
her possessively. With a sly grin, Ty pulled his arm from beneath Sirona’s
touch. “Think nothing of it, lass. But doona be wandering about the castle
alone.” With a curt nod to Rhain, he left them. The clack of his boots echoing
down the length of the corridor as he disappeared around a bend.

To Rhain’s surprise, Sirona snuggled against him.
He held her, savoring the way she fit him perfectly. Her slender body molded to
his as if she had been created just for him.

His heart tightened. Without a doubt, the best
thing for her was to be gone from this place. But already Rhain dreaded her
departure like the threat of plague.

She has the power to heal his body, but can she heal his soul?
Sirona Cleary tries to hide her unholy healing powers from everyone
around her, denying her divine heritage even as she saves those who would see
her punished. When she is kidnapped by a rival clan, she is sure her execution
is near. Rhain Comyn is dying from a mysterious disease, and he couldn’t be
more glad of it. After the atrocities he has committed, Rhain believes he has no
right to a decent life and welcomes the ailment that leaves him with
unquenchable thirst and hunger, extreme fatigue, blurred vision and ultimately
drives him into a deep slumber from which no healer can awaken him. Can a witch
from the clan of his enemy save him?
