The disturbing dreams begin to haunt Cassandra Wallace almost from the moment she first looks upon the portrait of the woman that hangs in Thor Severnson's office. They're waking dreams, however, and in them she lives another woman's life, the wife of the Duc du Maurier, the man everyone believes is in league with the devil. What disturbs Cassie most, however, is the fact that the Duc du Maurier doesn't just look like the man she loves. In her dreams, he wears the same suit of armor that stands by Thor's fireplace and he wields the identical sword. And why is it that Thor possesses the documents supporting so many different identities? Identities that date back for centuries?
