Written In Stone J Kaye Smith

The Ravynscrofts have been bitter adversaries with the Wolfbanes throughout the centuries. The hatred between the noble families has been passed down to each generation and all hope for reconciliation between them has long been buried beside their ancestors. With their lands bordering each other, it's an uneasy and tumultuous state that hangs dangerously between Lord Gareth Ravynscroft, the last heir of Ravynwood, and the Mad Wolf, Radulf Wolfbane. Upon his birth, Gareth Ravynscroft had been condemned by a vengeful wizard's curse for the death of his daughter, Astra. Passed down through the generations, Gareth was innocent of any wrongdoing yet he would suffer the harshest punishment from the Raven's Curse. Bitter and angry, he railed against the injustice done to him and turned away from his devoted father and family. Determined to outwit the wizard, Gareth hardens his heart and vows to keep it safe from all emotional attachments. But life had other plans. Madeline Rose, the abused wife of the depraved Mad Wolf, and the woman Gareth loved will act as the spark that ignites the war between the sworn enemies into a catastrophic inferno. Written in Stone is the story of Gareth's and Madeline's eternal love. A love so enduring, it transcends time, merging an age-old past into the present day. This book is written for mature readers over the age of eighteen due to violence in the medieval time period.
