Marion Grayle is in love! Overwhelmingly, totally in love. Wild and elemental as her native Dartmoor, with her flaming red-gold hair, challenging dark eyes and the supple allurement of her figure, she has always stood apart from the locals: like a creature from another world. She has spurned all suitors - until now. Now that she has found the one man she is determined will be hers, no one will be allowed to stand in her way. Neither convention, conscience nor scruple will stop her. Only the village wise woman, or mad woman, black-clad and second-sighted, forsees the terrible consequences of Marion's fated, obsessive love.
