Publisher Description
Best-selling author Victoria Holt spins breath-taking tales glimmering with danger and romance. In this entrancing novel, set in late 1800s Europe, a beautiful English schoolgirl participates in an ancient celebration, only to discover she no longer knows the difference between truth and myth. As shadows lengthen, 17-year-old Helena Trant and her classmates must finish their picnic in the Black Forest. Tonight young men will be out to honor Loke, the god of mischief, with drinking and pranks-no woman will be safe. As Helena walks through the misty woods, she loses her friends, but her fear turns to joy when a broad-shouldered man on a horse rescues her. The bewitching time she spends dining and dancing with him seems a thrilling dream-until that fateful night alters her life forever-blurring the borders between reality and dreams. One of the world's most popular authors, Victoria Holt skillfully weaves intrigue, suspense, and rapture into impetuous Helena's exploits. Virginia Leishman's spellbinding narration will leave you alternately holding your breath with anticipation or sighing with bliss.

"It has been a VERY long time since I've read any Victoria Holt books, but I remember that I loved getting them from the library and this one was no exception. She has a formula that works for a quick light read and I have yet to be disappointed by it. Don't expect to have your mind blown or challenged, but great read for by the pool or on the beach."

" Victoria Holt wrote these cheesy historical romances. I don't read romance novels now but I did when I was younger and I loved all of hers. Just because they always take you a different time and place.. A good escape from reality... "

" My most favorite from Victoria Holt. Absolutely wonderful read! and I read it when I was in junior high and still remember it! "

" A "fairytale" gone way, way wrong, this book kept me guessing til the end. There were a few things I figured out along the way, but I wasn't sure how it would all work out. I liked it and would definitely read more Victoria Holt novels. Thanks for the recommendations! "

" It has been so long since I read this book that I'm not sure what I'd rate it if I read it now, but I do remember loving it at the time (think I was about 13 or 14). In fact I read so many Victoria Holt books during that time and this one has stood out the most to me over the years. "

— Carol, 7/26/2013 -
" Super fun Victoria Holt novel! I love the gypsy element of this story .... she catches me up into the scenery and the characters in the first chapter and I can't put these books down. This one ... oh, yes, I've read it more than once! "
— Dacia, 6/29/2013 -
" This one was a hard one to put down. I started to read a little of it after I had already started another book...but I couldn't put this one down. It really grabs you! So I stopped reading the other book to read this one. I really enjoyed it. Good and clean. This is a "keeper". "
— Lori, 5/14/2013 -
" This book was my first favorite adult book. It was given to me as a gift by my aunt. I've read it several times during my high school years and still reference it as "one of my favorit." Full of romance, this is a well written historical fiction book. "
— Andrea, 3/12/2013 -

" I love Gothic romance and I am a huge fan of Victoria Holt. This is my favorite of her tales. "
— Rhiannon, 5/19/2012 -
" This story is more mystery than romance. The hero is only in the book a little in the beginning and then a little at the end. I also felt it got a little slow in the middle at times. It is, however, still a good mystery and I like Victoria Holt's writing style. "
