The Raven, Daniel Severin -- A ruthless mercenary with a heart of stone, he has been sent to the Hospice of Saint Bernard's, high up in the Swiss Alps, with a deadly mission. The Rose, Lorelei du Clerc -- A woman raised by the holy men of Saint Bernard's, she knows little of the world beyond the mountains, yet her very existence threatens the foundations of Napoleon Bonaparte's ever-widening empire. In the face of an approaching army and its fiercely determined leader, the Raven and the Rose risk everything for a love that should never have begun, but now can never be denied.
