<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the author of <i>The Hunger</i>--hailed by Stephen King as "deeply, deeply disturbing, hard to put down"--comes a hauntingly atmospheric tale filled with alchemy, lust, and betrayal.</b> <p/><i>True love can last an eternity...but immortality comes at a price.</i> <p/>On the midnight shift at a hospital in rural Maine, Dr. Luke Findley is expecting another quiet evening of frostbite and the occasional domestic dispute. But the minute Lanore McIlvrae--Lanny--enters his ER, she changes his life forever. A mysterious woman with plenty of dark secrets, Lanny is unlike anyone Luke has ever met. He is inexplicably drawn to her...despite the fact that she is a murder suspect with a police escort. As she begins to tell her story, Luke finds himself utterly captivated. <p/>Her impassioned account begins at the turn of the 19th century in the same small town of St. Andrew, Maine, back when it was a Puritan settlement. Consumed as a child by her love for the founder's son, Jonathan, Lanny will do anything to be with him. But the price she pays is steep--an immortal bond that chains her to a terrible fate for all eternity. And now, two centuries later, the key to her healing and her salvation lies with Dr. Luke Findley. <p/>Part historical novel, part supernatural page-turner, <i>The Taker </i>is a "mesmerizing" (<i>Booklist</i>, starred review) story about the power of unrequited love not only to elevate and sustain, but also to blind and ultimately destroy.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alma Katsu was born in Alaska and raised near Concord, Massachusetts.
