Plot Summary of Heart of the Hunter
"Ariana of Clairmont is determined to save her brother's life.. His ransom is the fabled key to a legendary treasure --- the Dragon's Chalice. But the journey will be perilous, treacherously dangerous, and dark magic will try to strike at her from all sides. Her only hope in making it safely to where her brother is being held captive is to seek the help of the merciless bounty hunter Braedon le Chasseur.

Braedon struggles with an inner conflict. He agrees to take Ariana to France when he discovers it will eventually lead him to locating the legendary Dragon's Chalice and the four precious magical stones that go with it. Their journey will force them to fight evil and danger in incredible mystical proportions, and also face the consequences of their growing love. Ariana and Braedon will finally find happiness in this story filled with rich tapestry of the medieval period, and a plot that will lead into future stories for this new series."

Kari Thomas, Resident Scholar
