There is nothing magical about Cassian Jourdain, nor does he come from a magical family, but Nightshade Manor was his home. This is where he had expected to grow old and die a bachelor. Except, now he has an opportunity to go back and claim what had been lost, which he intends to do until he meets Lady Samantha Ellis. Now he is torn between duty and his heart. Lady Samantha Ellis has always loved music. She can hear it in the wind, laughter, tears, and nearly every person's tone, except for Mr. Cassian Jourdain's. It is a conundrum that her mother insists is not unusual, but Samantha remains intrigued and wonders if she is drawn to him because he is handsome and fascinating or because he is an enigma that may have stolen her heart. However, when Lady Samantha faces a danger that had been foretold, Cassian realizes that his fortune and destiny are tied to hers. But without magic of his own, will he be able to save her, or will she be lost to him forever as their fortunes converge and predictions come true.
