Synopsis

Lady Cerilla must wed Arlen, the Summerking, who will be ritually sacrificed once their marriage is consummated. They have not met until, on the eve of their wedding, they fall in love at first sight. In a stunning act of self-sacrifice, Arlen's childhood friend, Lonn, volunteers to die in his place, allowing the lovers to flee. But as the weeks and months pass, their happiness turns to desperation, for they are constantly pursued, not only by Cerilla's mortified father and his forces but by supernatural agencies as well. - from the cover
