Time is running out for Armend Zogu. The 250-year-old family curse on his head will claim his life on his 30th birthday, the winter solstice. Sofia Palmalosi might be just the Strega who can save him. A descendant of a long line of powerful Italian witches, her family's magic was a gift from the Goddess Diana. Together Sofia and Armend embark on a journey from New York, to Sicily and the ancient ruins of Diana's temple, and back to New York, all the while fighting a battle of magic and wits with a psychopath who wants them both dead and the curse intact. If the curse doesn't kill Armend, breaking it just might.
