When she's eighteen, she discovers a black book hidden in her grandmother's vintage desk and is lured into a dark fairytale -a world she cannot escape. She's mesmerized by a dark prince who holds her in his thrall... It was Brier Hill County, Charm, Ohio, in the year two thousand--- the millennium-a time when demons and wizards could enter the earth and wreak havoc. That's when eighteen-year-old Stephanie Stratford, the privileged daughter of Judge Daniel Stratford, found the black book. She's enchanted by Damien's image. His dark, seductive eyes draw her to him, but when she sees him move, she resists and questions her sanity. Stephanie blossoms into the most beautiful girl in the village. Her skin is porcelain, and her eyes are green. She's feisty and has many suitors. A triangle ensues. Amidst the community of Amish, tongues wag, and rumors fly when they learn about the black book.

When Sawyer Rhodes, a handsome rogue, saves her, secrets buried decades ago by her father are brought to light. When Stephanie is cast into the eighteenth century, she finds herself at Ludwig Castle - surrounded by horrors. Damien's wench, Bella Franz, tries to poison her, and when Damien hangs Bella, Stephanie's maidservant, warns her she may be next. The truth is revealed at a Masquerade party. Lucifer wants her.
