Jane Sillee dreams of the same Highland warrior every night. As a child, he protected her. As a woman, she loves him. By day, Jane writes romance novels and tries to forget her impossible dream lover. Then an ancient tapestry arrives at her door, bearing his exact likeness. The tapestry whisks Jane back to fifteenth century Scotland, to Dun Haakon castle on the isle of Skye. There she discovers her dream lover is real. Aedan MacKinnon was stolen from his Highland home and imprisoned by the Unseelie king in a realm of ice and darkness. Centuries of torture transformed him into Vengeance, the dark king's cold instrument of death in the mortal world. Jane has one chance to save Aedan from his frozen prison. She must navigate the deadly politics between the light and dark Fae courts. She must break through the ice that surrounds his heart. The Unseelie king will not surrender his weapon easily. Jane faces ancient immortal enemies with only her mortal love as protection.
