Sir Mark Hayward had sworn never

again to cross paths with Belle Cavendish,

for though she was the daughter of his

liege lord, the young she-devil had been

the plague of his boyhood. But when

Brandon Cavendish offered to make him

a landed knight in return for rescuing

his precious Belle, Mark could not refuse,

With such a prize at stake, how hard

could it be for a clever knight to spirit one young

woman away from her captors? How hard. indeed!

For the ungrateful Belle refused to leave. And

suddenly the simple rescue had become a full-blown

invasion, with mischief and mayhem and a devious

plan to rid the castle of all its vermin at a haunted

banquet one HaUoween night!
