Last in a line of Celtic mystics, Golde mixes potions to support herself--though she has no powers at all. Her newest source of revenue is an arrogant baron who is suddenly struck blind, a man whom Golde plans to cure and abandon. But Golde's scheme goes awry when she meets the imposing lord, and is assailed by unexpected passion. It seems that her deception will cost more than she dreamed, for Golde is losing her heart to a tempestuous man who possesses even more secrets than she.
