      A knight...

      A lady...

      And a deadly dark secret...

      A fiend dwells in the forest and Sir Liam Cantwell sets out to slay it. Only the fiend is a fair maiden named Glamis Drui. Will Liam fall prey to her deadly embrace or will his knightly charms be her undoing?

      Chapter One

      October could be cold and wet in Ireland, but the weather held out with little or no rain as Sir William Cantwell, Liam to his friends and family, traveled North with his squire, Cormac. After seven years, he fulfilled his obligation to the Knights Templar, who had relieved his family's estates from financial burden in exchange for his services. It was a sacrifice he had gladly undertaken to save the family from financial ruin. The crusades were bloody and long, and for the most part disheartening. He went into temporary service as a boy and came back a man haunted by the horrors he'd witnessed.

      He'd written to his family of his return, but he found he was not ready to face the duties required of him. In truth, he had no wish to be Lord when his father passed the duties over to him. His father thrived on being in control. He was in the front lines when petty clan wars broke out. He could shout commands and men jumped to follow him. Liam could be just as forceful. He proved it time and time again during his service, but in his heart, he knew his destiny lay elsewhere.

      The lush wooded area born of legends was a welcomed reminder of his youth and he cherished the uneventful ride. The church, along with his Norman father, frowned upon the old stories born of druids and the Sidhe. His mother's family may have taken on the Christian beliefs, but the old ways were kept close to her heart and she shared them with her sons.

      The sun sat low in the horizon, the sky darkening and looking like a sodden wool blanket. Rain would drench the land tonight. He glanced at Cormac, who barely held onto the reins, his lids heavy with wanted sleep. If he did not find shelter soon, he would be picking up his squire from the ground.

      He thought they would rest beneath the trees, but as the mist cleared the path had led them to the Village of Dunnloch. The Tavern Inn, which stood in the center of the village, near the town square, beckoned to his tired bones. The wind blew cold and he was thankful for the thick fur mantle he donned over his shoulders in replacement of the templar's thinner garb. He was no longer obligated to dress the part of one of Order and could return to his native attire. We shall stay here for the night, Cormac. The lad straightened in his seat and blinked up at him. Once you have secured the horses, come to the inn and I shall have food and drink waiting for you.

      Thank you, Sir Cantwell. His squire was a bony lad, lanky and long limbed, but he proved stronger than he appeared and a good companion.

      Liam stepped down from his trusted mount. His hand slid across the horse's sleek black coat with affection. "If
