(Mass Market Paperback)
Acclaimed as one of the masters of paranormal romance, Maggie Shayne enthralled readers with her extraordinary trilogy about a race of immortal witches. Now, she presents the story of an immortal whose existence has centered solely on vengeance and hatred-only to find a second chance at love, redemption-and immortality.
Her name is Puabi-and she's an Immortal High Witch whose past is littered with dark secrets. Convinced she has eluded death for the last time, she is shocked to find herself being rescued by a mysterious stranger who fills her with a desire she thought was lost forever.
His name is Matthew Fairchild-and he is a millionaire tormented by guilt over the tragic death of his wife. The last thing he expected to encounter was a beautiful woman who possessed an uncanny resemblance to the woman he loved and lost. But Puabi is like no one he's ever met before. Is it possible this enigmatic beauty can heal the bitter wounds that have nearly cost him his heart?

April 17, 2006: WOW! This book was so amazing I personally could not stop reading it. I have read Maggie's books before but this one was great. It was short and could have used some more details. I still fell in love with Matthew. His pain was so heartbreaking. But the ending was awesome!!!!!!

September 30, 2005: I liked this book. It hooks you from the 1st page. I didn't put it down until I had finished with it which it took me about an hour. The ending was a pleasant surprise. I liked the characters especially Puabi. The only problem I had was it should have been longer, explained her life as a queen of Sumer, just more details. But as a short read it was very good. For the price it was worth it. So if you are tired of reading books that half way through you can guess the ending try this one. It will surprise you.
