Twisted bloodlines bound by a curse. These women are Starcrossed.
1450s Stuttgart. Rue is locked up in a nunnery against her will, repeatedly beaten for trying to run away to reunite with the boy she loves. Single mother Rose struggles to survive in the plague-torn city, in daily danger of being burned as a witch. Both are wrapped in a blood curse but are determined to escape their fate.
Rose's mad plan to kill Strom seems impossible, until Rue smashes into her life uninvited, adding her skills to Rose's boldness. Together they must find a way to stop the ancient evil is bent on destroying them, and the families they love. Can a stolen emerald, a silver cup, and pure defiance tip the scales in their favor?
