According to ancient Black Forest legend, on the Night of the Seventh Moon, Loke, the God of Mischief, is at large in the world. It is a night for festivity and joyful celebration. It is a night for singing and dancing. And it is a night for love.
Helena Trant was enchanted by everything she found in the Black Forest -- especially its legends. But then, on the Night of the Seventh Moon, she started to live one of them, and the enchantment turned suddenly into a terrifying nightmare . . .

Victoria Holt is one of the world's most beloved writers of romantic fiction. Her bestselling novels include Seven for a Secret, Daughter of Deceit, Snare of Serpents, The India Fan, and The Silk Vendetta. Miss Holt also wrote many bestselling novels under the names Jean Plaidy and Philippa Carr. More than 56 million copies of Victoria Holt novels have been sold worldwide, and there are more than 14 illion copies of Jean Plaidy and more than 3 million copies of Philippa Carr stories in print. Victoria Holt died in January 1993.
Written in 1972, and narrated lyrically here by Virginia Leishman, this book seems typical of that age, when girls were still brought up on the saccharinized fairy tales "Sleeping Beauty" and "Cinderella." From the moment Helena is rescued from the forest mists by a young horseman, her heart is held captive by this mysterious young man. In any but a gifted author's hand this tale could seem trite and contrived. However, Holt creates elaborate characters and sets the narrative in the fabled and romantic Black Forest of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. The reader will soon be caught up in the intrigues that keep Helena from living the uncomplicated life of a bookseller's daughter. A grand example of the gothic romance. Highly recommended.?Theresa Connors, Arkansas Tech Univ., Russellville
