Shadow of the Cat

Alexei Korakov is tortured by the curse he has inherited from an ancestor who spurned a witch. When he meets Drusilla Jordan, a young woman who believes in faerie tales, he instantly knows she is the reincarnation of his ancestor's true love, the woman he is destined to love... and kill. But Drusilla knows something that Alexei does not. She knows that courage and strength will never triumph over the evil that envelops them. She knows that only love can defeat evil.
