A curse. A runaway bride. A legendary hero. These are the ingredients to a sweeping romantic and epic fairy tale of star-crossed lovers that spans across time and space...
For years, Lady Kassandra Stanton has long admired the portrait of the Dark Horseman, which hangs above the wall to her family's grand estate. Tall, dark and handsome, the Dark Horseman embodies everything that Kassie's romanticized in her ideal dream man. This legendary figure, who's cursed to wander the enchanted forest in her remote and sleepy English country village, is regarded as a saint to some and to others, he's the very devil, himself. But to Kassie, the Dark Horseman represents the dashing and kind hearted gentleman, who's always watched over her in her dreams, ever since she was a young girl. As much as Kassie wishes and longs for him to be real; sadly, much to her dismay, she must marry another or else, risk losing her inheritance and ancestral estate over to a distant male relative. And so, on the eve of her wedding, Kassie finds herself on horseback and wandering through the woods, where she soon discovers that the Dark Horseman is not only limited to merely a myth; but rather, he's also a real man, in the flesh. But in a surprise twist of fate, while lost in the enchanted forest, Kassie comes face-to-face with the very legendary hero, himself! Lord Henry Galloway, better known as the Dark Horseman, has been cursed to wander the enchanted forest alone for all eternity, never to die nor to venture outside beyond the boundaries to the very land that cursed him. For the past one hundred years and counting, Henry, along with his trusted horse, Midnight, have been condemned to live a solitary existence, with no remedy in sight to break their looming spell. For an immortal man, he's grown fearless over this past century. Death nor injury can destroy him. Neither sleep nor hunger can sustain him. Although Henry has long accepted his doomful fate, one day he unexpectantly encounters a runaway bride and his world is immediately turned upside down. After years of solitude, Henry's finally met his match with a mortal woman. But can an immortal man and a mortal woman have a happy ending? Can their love be the cure to an unbreakable curse? Will our heroine, Kassie, serve as the missing link to Henry's heart, whom he's waited so long for? Can she save him from an eternity of loneliness and damnation? Will love conquer all, in the ultimate ending to this dark and epic fairy tale?
