Brion Rouwen finds himself caught in an ugly lover's triangle and is banished from not only his post as guard captain but Castle Gan, the center of his entire life.

This punishment is only the beginning of the king's punishment.  Rouwen is cursed to kill any he loves.  Only the Lord of Death and Life might release him from his curse.  But is the cure worse than the curse?
