Count Mathias Duma is guided by the stars, and they've led him to the lovely Katherine Archerbald -- a woman who ignites his passion and shares his beliefs. Can he trust her with his secret?  Dare he trust her with his heart. The truth is revealed under the light of the moon.This book is a beautiful blend of history and mystique. And it's terribly romantic. Terribly! Stephanie Burkhart delves into folklore in this magnificent tale that combines the romance of the era, with the romance of the setting, with the romance of an impossible love. Not an easy feat, I say!Add to that, the tormented hero's plight, the sense of impending danger, and the element of an ongoing rivalry, and well... there not much left to be desired. Katherine and Mathias's desire for each other takes care of the rest. (keep a fan and a glass of cold water nearby.)The Hungarian is both, an intriguing and romantic tale. Congratulations to Ms. Burkhart!
