Summary
Josephine Celesta is a loyal paladin of Lathander and happily serves His temple in Waterdeep. But when she finds herself whisked away by Mindflayers, she finds her hardline beliefs challenged by her companions, who are nearly all enemies of her god. Worst of all is the vampire, beautiful, charming, sad, and not anything like what she had been told of Lathander's hated undead. Can Josephine's faith survive her growing feelings for Astarion? Or will she fall off the path of light into the darkness of his waiting arms?
Astarion is intrigued by this fearsome and conflicted paladin. She could easily slay him, but he knows that with the right words, he could transform her into his greatest shield. A force that he could wield to slay Cazador. Yet, there was something about her that tugged at the depths of his memory...and his heart...
