True love can last an eternity... but immortality comes at a price...
On the midnight shift at a hospital in rural Maine, Dr. Luke
Findley is expecting another quiet evening of frostbite and the
occasional domestic dispute. But the minute Lanore McIlvrae — Lanny — walks
into his ER, she changes his life forever. A mysterious woman with a
past and plenty of dark secrets, Lanny is unlike anyone Luke has ever
met. He is inexplicably drawn to her... despite the fact that she is a murder suspect with a police escort. And as she begins to tell her
story, a story of enduring love and consummate betrayal that transcends
time and mortality, Luke finds himself utterly captivated.
Her
impassioned account begins at the turn of the nineteenth century in the
same small town of St. Andrew, Maine, back when it was a Puritan
settlement. Consumed as a child by her love for the son of the town’s
founder, Lanny will do anything to be with him forever. But the price
she pays is steep — an immortal bond that chains her to a terrible fate
for all eternity. And now, two centuries later, the key to her healing
and her salvation lies with Dr. Luke Findley.
Part historical novel, part supernatural page-turner, The Taker is an unforgettable tale about the power of unrequited love not only to elevate and sustain, but also to blind and ultimately destroy, and how
each of us is responsible for finding our own path to redemption.
