Raven Wood, an ancient and powerful witch, had been forced to help King Butler gain immortality. Butler had killed Raven's mother anyway and for her part, even though it was unwilling, she paid the price for the deed with her sight. For centuries she has lived in darkness with only the earth and her pet raven to help guide her way. Lewis McCade would be opening his restaurant, The Dragon's Lair, soon. Between the pressure of the opening and a wedding he was catering for his brother, his nerves are shot. And the news that his new mate is probably nearby and blind to boot couldn't come at a worse time. Butler may have forced Raven to extend his life, but she cheated him and put a time limit on his magic and immortality. Now his time and magic are running out. He has to bring all the pieces of jewelry together and call forth the dragon before it's too late. He will do whatever is necessary to see all the McCades dead....
