The heir to Castle Leger, Lance St. Leger is determined to continue his role as rakehell and black sheep. Plagued by the family legacy of strange powers, he practices night drifting -- spiriting into the night while his flesh and bone remain behind.

But in this place of otherworldly magic, a new dire portent threatens to come full circle. As a murderous enemy challenges the St. Leger power, Rosalind must attempt magic herself to save her beloved from the cold depths of eternal damnation....
