The new Baron of Kittern, General Bayard, discovers an injured woman during a hunt. Suspecting her to have been attacked by rebels, he keeps her safely locked away in the abandoned tower in the center of his land, hoping to use her to cement his control over the disputed barony. As she recovers, he's shocked to discover her strange power tied to the land; power she promises to use on his behalf if he gives up all killing. But can he let go of a lifetime of military thinking to accept her offer, or will his efforts to trick her into using her power destroy them both?This story previously appeared in the New Concepts Publishing anthology Shifters, which won the 2003 EPPIE award for best ebook anthology of the year.
