Lucy Derrick is a young woman of good breeding and poor finances. After
the death of her beloved father, she becomes the unwanted boarder of her
tyrannical uncle, fending off marriage to a local mill owner. But just
as she is resigned to a life of misery, a handsome stranger—the poet and
notorious rake Lord Byron—arrives at her house, stricken by what seems
to be a curse, and with a cryptic message for Lucy.
With
England on the cusp of revolution, Lucy inexplicably finds herself
awakened to a world where magic and mortals collide, and the forces of
ancient nature and modern progress are at war for the soul of England . .
. and the world. The key to victory may be connected to a cryptic
volume whose powers of enchantment are unbounded. Now, challenged by
ruthless enemies with ancient powers at their command, Lucy must harness
newfound mystical skills to preserve humanity’s future. And enthralled
by two exceptional men with designs on her heart, she must master her
own desires to claim the destiny she deserves.
My Take: Intriguing story and I enjoyed this very much. I loved the historical setting and the whimsical characters. I plan to read more from this author.
