Bea, known as the Washwoman, is cursed to wash the grave clothes of the dying for eternity at the River's End. Her only hope for freedom lies in piecing together a spell from the garments she cleanses.

But her quest is interrupted by Brennen, a man sworn to kill her, believing her to be the monster who took his loved one.

As they are forced into an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth behind the kingdom's missing women, their relationship evolves from hatred to reluctant trust, and eventually to desire.

With fate closing in, Brennen must decide if he will save the woman he swore to kill, while Bea must choose between the rest she once longed for and the love that could destroy them both.

For fans of The Knight and the Moth, One Dark Window, and Outlander.
