Loved, was the Captain: she was the daughter of a witch and the witch wanted him too. She had desired him across the centuries and he was still in mortal danger.

Tallis is a flawed hero.This is the sequel to the acclaimed THE CAPTAIN'S WITCH where the battle for this soul and body goes on. Malkar may be dead, but the lovers find that she has power even over their dreams.
