About this ebook

A beautifully wrought modern fairy tale from master storyteller and award-winning author Nancy Werlin

Inspired by the classic folk ballad “Scarborough Fair,” this is a wonderfully riveting novel of suspense, romance, and fantasy. Lucy is seventeen when she discovers that she is the latest recipient of a generations-old family curse that requires her to complete three seemingly impossible tasks or risk falling into madness and passing the curse on to the next generation. Unlike her ancestors, though, Lucy has family, friends, and other modern resources to help her out. But will it be enough to conquer this age-old evil?

Ratings and reviews

About five or six years ago I got this book from target. right from the beginning I loved it. There were parts of the story I could relate too. It seemed as the words turned into a movie right in front of your eyes. It was very magical a world where your best friend for years turned out to be your husband years later. This book makes you believe in true love and also puts a little music into it. I have read this book over three times now sine then and now on my fourth. I recommend this book to everyone.

Oh my god. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster. I'll never be able to find a book like it.

I read this book in November last year and I liked it!!!! No wait loved it!!! It's a really sweet book, I like how it puts a fairy tale twist in it! I liked that aspect of it, and I liked the love story in it as well!!!!
