Lilah was left on the front steps of the monastery in Gus. Who is she? What is she? Why can she perform the miracle of healing? After her skill is revealed, and she is branded a child of Satan, Lilah is forced to leave her close friend, Arianne, and the only home she has ever known. At fifteen, she begins a new life outside the walls of the monastery to learn that people are not always what they appear. When first love is replaced by tragedy - at the hands of a vicious landowner - Gabriel, a mysterious, enchanting observer, comes to Lilah's aid. Taken to castle, deep in the Hungarian forests, she will discover secrets from her past - which her parents wanted buried - and her fate will entwine with the darkest of legends.
