no good deed goes unpunished. ophelia has always been comfortable with her solitude in the wilderness. but when she finds an injured man in the forest and brings him home with her to nurse him back to health, her good deed turns into much more than she bargained for; she learns that the man is the overzealous, radical preacher from the nearby town, and ophelia was raised as a witch. a romance blooms between the unlikely pair, and questions of faith and loyalty burn hotter than fire and brimstone.
