Sir Willem Byrdsall was once the proud captain of the Queen's Guard. Now he's retired, struggling with an old injury that never healed right, and feeling every one of his forty-two years. Never married, his closest family is his sister and his ailing niece Alice. When physicians give up hope and predict that the next winter might be the little girl's last, Will takes up one final quest -- to slay an elusive unicorn for its blood which is said to cure any illness. His hunt takes an unexpected turn when a naked, terrified young man stumbles into his camp on a dark and stormy night, chased to the point of exhaustion by slavers. Will saves him and is forced to put his quest on hold when he realizes the young man is injured and stranded, lost in a strange land, and in desperate need of protection. Percy is unlike any other person Will has ever met. His beauty is second to none, his sincerity is refreshing, and his kisses are the sweetest Will has tasted. But Percy isn't what he seems, and Will's quest for a cure becomes far more complicated once his heart is involved
