Daughter of the Deepwood Book 2 in the Twin Moons Saga ![]()
Lifetime imprisonment for an immortal doesn’t bear consideration. As cold iron burns his skin and dampens his magic, fae captain Falco wrenches power and freedom from the broken body of another prisoner—a witchbreed female—tossed into his cell to make room for a new harvest of criminals. Honor and obligation mandate that he not abandon her.
Unable to heal her extensive injuries, he takes the dying witchbreed to the heart of the Great Forest where the most ancient magic lives. His plea granted, the woman is remade of a blend of his blood, her flesh, and deep magic. Bound by his debt, Falco takes Calista as his mate when he returns home to Froúrio Daimónafae, a sentient fortress-city carved from a mountain. Although he regrets his intended fae mate’s anger, his increasing affection and desire for his witchbreed mate surprise him. Lost in a foreign culture, spurned by the fae, her body unfamiliar to her, and unable to believe in Falco’s professed affections, Calista makes her own destiny and realizes the fate of an unfriendly nation rests upon her shoulders.
Excerpt:
“I am beyond healing,” she said. “Let me die.” “No,” he growled and the power in his soul flared brightly. “You can be healed, and I will not let you die.” “I cannot remove the manacles.” “You won’t have to,” he whispered and dreaded what he must do. “Are you still bleeding?” She twitched. “Yes, but—” “Where?” he demanded. Terror wiped all expression from her dirty face. She closed her eyes and sank into whatever dark place she went when the horror and disappointment of her circumstances grew too much to bear.

Thank you. As for question of whether she dies, well you know the rote response to that one. ;-)

Clearly this fellow isn't an American, because patients here have the right to refuse treatment and you can't force it on them.

I'm not sure what you mean. The scene takes place in prison, not in a hospital. Comments are closed.
