Ladyhawke

by Joan D. Vinge

First published 1985

Captain Etienne Navarre carries a terrible burden. A cruel curse separates him from Lady Isabeau, the woman he loves. Each night, Navarre transforms into a wolf while Isabeau becomes a hawk during daylight hours. They can never touch as humans, never share a moment together in their true forms. The corrupt Bishop who cast this spell continues to hold power over their fate. Navarre finds an unlikely ally in Philippe Gaston, a clever thief with his own reasons to oppose the Bishop. Together, the three must devise a plan to bring down the religious leader who destroyed their lives. Only by defeating the Bishop can they hope to shatter the curse that keeps the lovers apart. Their quest becomes a race against time and the forces of corruption that seek to maintain control over their destiny.
