When love is lost, a lady needs a champion....

Sweethearts since childhood, Annie and Richard shared an unparalleled love filled with tenderness, passion and joy. Until the tragic day Richard vanished - presumed dead after a terrible car accident - leaving his adoring wife pregnant and alone, and holding on to the shattered pieces of her broken world.

But Richard is not gone - for magic claimed him before Death could. He has returned in a mystical disguise with no recollection of the man he once was - a modern knight on a mission to protect his distraught young widow and their unborn child from dark and deadly forces that threaten their safety. But no cloak of mystery can deceive Annie's heart - for her eyes see deep into her hero's soul and she knows no limits. And now only the power of Annie's passion can revive Richard's stolen memory....so that they may once again share the sweetness of a rapture more enduring than forever.

"Sharing elements of both THE STAND by Stephen King and the movie "The Terminator," with all the magic and wonder of a Disney fairytale, Maggie Shayne weaves a mesmerizing tale of true love that is sure to enchant readers everywhere. The climactic scene is riveting with the battle between the forces of good and evil. " -- Frugal Village

"ANNIE'S HERO is a tremendous fantasy romance. Only that magnificent writing magician, Maggie Shayne, could have turned this surreal novel into a real story that feels entirely authentic. Annie is a great female protagonist, but it is the heroic Richard, who steals hearts and causes tears with his acts of valor, knowing he will die. If this is not a character willing to go to hell for a heavenly cause, who is? With this novel, the talented Ms. Shayne has clearly risen to the top of the sub-genre. " -- Harriet Klausner, Superbookdepot
