My lady madness

To free his own tormented soul, he would have to unlock her pain -- with love...

She is Sabine Bassange --- an exquisite young woman with hair of gold and vivid amethyst eyes. But behind those striking eyes, lies a deep, painful secret. Many say she is "touched" --- that a shocking, brutal tragedy drove her into a realm of fantasy . . . and madness. He is Louis de Lavarac --- a soldier so devastated by the blood he has spilled for the French king, he prays bitterly for his own death. Hoping to keep his brother occupied and save him from despair, Henri de Lavarac asks Louis to take over his monthly duty of looking in on Sabine Bassange and her ailing grandfather. When Louis sees Sabine dancing in the meadow by her castle, he becomes enchanted. Louis knows Sabine is not mad but instead is frightened of the mysterious force that has haunted her since childhood. Vowing to protect her from whomever --- or whatever --- wishes her harm, Louis takes Sabine home. Now, he desperately hopes that with his love he can free her from her world of shadows, heal his own shattered heart, and bind them both together in a future filled with eternal ecstasy and desire . . .
