Soul's End — Joy Carroll

Puppets

Who was this man who took Nina in his arms? Was he Major Darcy Cary, kind and gentle and good? Or Captain Daniel Cary, cynical and lustful and dead these three hundred years?

Who was this young woman who responded so eagerly to his embraces? Was she shy and sheltered Nina Faber? Or a sensual, scheming, unscrupulous wanton named Mercy who had eagerly plunged into adultery and even graver sins centuries ago?

Did this man and this woman love each other -- or were they possessed by a passion that for three hundred years had refused to die?
