Overview

In 1817, Alcy Callen's visit to her step-uncle, long presumed dead, plunges her into a treacherous predicament. Nothing is as she expects and little is what it seems, including the man who keeps her from an evil fate. Discovering his identity, she feels as if she were snatched from the jaws of a mad dog by a fearsome wolf. Shaken and dismayed, she is certain of only one thing: the God she has loved since childhood. As Alcy follows His Word, He leads her along a perilous path, far more rewarding than anything she could imagine, into the arms of a man who fulfills her inner longings."I'm on the edge of my seat!"
