Scotland and Italy 1486 On the suggestion of a soothsayer, Laird Taveon Kraig travels to Italy to recover a magic amulet needed to break a curse before it kills his twin brother’s pregnant wife during childbirth, like it has killed all others in his family for a hundred years. Viviana Gorini Dè Medici Martinus Da Vincenza, a blind sculptor and the ward of Lorenzo the Magnificent, owns the amulet and uses its magic to see through other people’s eyes. She’s survived two bad marriages without getting pregnant and is considered barren. She’s determined not to wed again. Taveon cannot bring himself to take Viviana’s sight from her by taking the amulet. Because Taveon believes she’s protected from the curse, he offers marriage and plays on Lorenzo’s superstitions to force Viviana to return with him to Scotland. Taveon has trouble gaining Viviana’s affections because she hated being married and continually compares him to her previous husbands. Their mutual attraction becomes impossible to fight, but will the love that grows on their journey be enough to break the curse and save them all?
