description: “It’s a blood-oath, Erin! When I come back, it will be to cut out your rotting womb!” Catlin Bath’s parting shot has haunted Erin for seven years. Lady Bath has long known that Erin’s secret despair was the inability to have a child—that has changed. The birth of Adrienne Chaenomeles pushes the stakes to new heights when Catlin returns to fulfil the threat—For the womb to remain dead, the child must die also. Recruited with a secret mandate from Safayah Boul¨, assisted by cut-throats of the Barrier Mountains, and armed with an intimate knowledge of the wasteland beyond, Catlin thrills to the possibilities—a double murder and leisure to torment. Catlin intends to play mother and child cruelly, but when the innocent gives freely—trust, complicity, affection, allegiance—Catlin cannot resist stripping the last vestige of motherhood from Erin and subverting the child to her own ends.
