Mark of the Witch - Paperback

by Maggie Shayne (Author)

She was born to save what he is sworn to destroy.

Indira's stopped believing in magic and considers herself a lapsed Wiccan. Then she dreams of being sacrificed to an ancient Babylonian god-thrown from a cliff with her two sisters, their arms bound behind them... and wakes with real rope burns on her wrists.

Then a hot priest shows up and says he can help her. Sexy-as-sin Father Tomas tells Indy about a trio of witches bound from ancient times to help stop a demon. He believes this is Indira's sacred calling, and claims it's also his own.

But the version of the ancient tale Indira begins to remember is very different from the one Tomas and his witch-hating old mentor tell. In one of those memories, Tomas himself is the man whose hands rest on her back just before she's pushed from the cliff. And the demon is another innocent victim of the King's jealous rage, and his High Priest's hateful vengeance.

She's supposed to help the so-called demon escape his cruel prison.

And Tomas, the priest with whom she has fallen in love, is oathbound to stop her.
