Description:

Erique Shoutte, warrior priest of the Kova, five years earlier failed to save Lady Caution Daemon from a horrible death. Now her younger sister, Fidelity, has come to him for protection from the same sinister threat. This ancient curse warns that each female of the line will die, drained of blood, before the morning of her twenty-first birthday. No Daemon female has survived in three hundred years. Now, the cycle has begun again with the deaths of three that always precede the murder of a Daemon family descendant. Lord Shoutte and his long-time friend, the fierce swordswoman Dame Arinna Cabal, undertake to save Fidelity, despite attacks of religious radicals and thugs. But can they solve the mystery and save the new Lady Daemon or will they also fall victim to The Daemonhold Curse?
