Publisher's Synopsis
The Count of Illevante' first sees Angeline Belaveuta as an emerald eyed child being tugged along by her step-mother while he is spying on his family's oldest rival, her father.Instantly the prophecy his ancients have cursed his family for centuries begins to unfold before him. Telling of love and a future; of hope and an understanding which will span decades.This child, the child of his enemy, could she be the one to end his family curse; but how does he win her heart and trust, bond her to him for hundreds of years before the Illevante's curse damns them all."You are the only one to save me, to save our daughter." The blood was seen to bubble up to his lips, spray from his mouth as a weakening cough erupted from his lips, "they have cursed me as they have cursed the others of my family. You will end this curse, little one, when the dogs of war are named from the planet of blood so shall the curse be lifted; so shall you return to me. You will believe yourself to suffer a hundred thousand nights without me but remember you will be returned to me."
