About the book
In peaceful Norsdale, we meet Gillan, who longs to leave her dull life in a secluded country abbey. But when her wish comes true, she finds more than a little adventure. As she ventures out, not only is her life in danger, but also the power that lies within her, waiting to be discovered. The Were Riders wore the shape of men but they were not human. The price of their aid was thirteen maidens to be taken a brides. This is the story of one of them.
