Book Description: How can I trust the stranger who vowed to protect me when he is the same man who murders me in my dreams?
Plagued by a curse that stripped Savannah of her memories, she’s forced to journey with the one man the curse causes her to fear – Jonathan. Their only clue to discovering Savannah’s family steers them toward America’s newest stronghold at West Point. But the construction on the river draws the attention of darker forces than simple redcoats, and every step that brings Savannah closer to remembering who she is, leads to the realization that she and Jonathan are more than they first appeared to be.
