After Elisabeth and Nathaniel battled evil forces to save the world in the first book and discovered they had allies in each other, Elisabeth nursed Nathaniel back to health &#8212; and is still spending the nights in his room and now in his bed.

They discover that the house wants Nathaniel to court Elisabeth properly as a sorcerer should &#8212; including three impossible tasks.<\/p>\n<p>This story is sweet romantic fun.
