Stolen Magic (Guardians) - Tapa blanda

“M. J. Putney has created true magic. . . . Romantic and lyrical, this tale will fill your reading time with pleasure.”—Catherine Asaro, author of The Misted Cliffs

Simon Malmain, the Earl of Falconer, enforces the law for the Guardians, humans with magical powers derived from nature. A routine mission to confront a rogue Guardian turns disastrous when Simon’s quarry, Lord Drayton, captures his pursuer in a transformation spell. Aid arrives in the form of Meg, a fey young woman who has also been ensorcelled by Drayton. Bound by the need for each other’s magic, Simon and Meg join forces to defeat the evil Guardian—and in the process unleash the more ancient magic of passion. But even their combined power may not be enough to stave off Drayton’s diabolical plans. Only a desperate act of love may win back the future—or destroy all they hold dear.

Praise for Stolen Magic

“Putney’s fully imagined magical system, combined with Georgian detail, is a terrific setting for a tale of intrigue and danger.”—Booklist (boxed and starred review)

“A fast-paced, irresistible read with a powerful ending. Each page is more enjoyable than the last.”—The Huntsville Times

“Delightful . . . enchants from beginning to end.”—Elizabeth Haydon, author of the Symphony of Ages series

A lifelong reader of science fiction and fantasy, M. J. Putney can still quote Robert Heinlein with no encouragement whatsoever. A graduate of Syracuse University with degrees in eighteenth-century literature and industrial design, she followed a peripatetic path to success as a writer. Now a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author, Putney has been a nine-time finalist in the Romance Writers of America RITA contests and has won two RITAs for her historical novels. Her books have been listed four times by the American Library Association among the top five romances of the year. The chance with Stolen Magic to combine fantasy with her love of history and romance is an example of real-life magic in action.
