Where life and love are but a sword’s length from the heart and death is often the kinder choice.
When Rene, a young French swordmaster, is forced to protect the woman he loves, he mortally wounds the son of a powerful nobleman, rekindling a rivalry that spans worlds and lifetimes.
Now, Rene must learn how to access ancient powers earned in a previous lifetime or face a fate worse than death: the eternal slavery of everyone he loves.
