After assisting in keeping the world in perfect balance by
saving the Immortal Tain, Manannan mac Lir decides to throw
himself into his music. Lately though, he feels just a bit
off, like something is not quite right, then a messenger
delivers a chilling report. Another faerie village under
his protection has been attacked and this time an infant's
life is in jeopardy. It's Manannan's royal duty as guardian
of Celtic magical creatures to protect his people, and
finding those responsible for this attack is his first
priority.
Artemis Black's ability to balance both light and dark
magic is to blame for her uncalculated error in
accidentally taking life magic from an infant, which brings
attention to what she is trying to accomplish.
Unfortunately, the blood deal she makes with the Devil is a
serious one that costs her dearly, but she will stop at
nothing to pay for his help in finding what was taken from
her -- even if she must collect life magic for him.
Joy Nash is as clever as ever!! This sixth novel in
the Immortals series is just as fast-paced and steamy as
the others, with a touch of darkness that's surprising and
very enthralling. A great read!
Celtic demigod Manannán mac Lir (Mac) is hot on the trail
of Artemis Black, a stunningly dangerous witch who is
inexplicably able to intertwine life magic with death
magic. Her rare talent nearly killed a faerie infant under
Mac’s protection. For the safety of his people, he should
punish her severely for this crime.
But once Mac runs Artemis to ground, he finds he just can’t
handle the sexy, infuriating witch. Artemis is both
vulnerable and cunning, and it’s not often that Mac meets a
female who can tug at his heartstrings and challenge his
magic. Each time Mac thinks he’s got Artemis cornered, she
slips from his grasp. Soon, he’s obsessed.
Artemis is desperate. So desperate, she’s been skimming
life essence from faeries, despite the inherent danger,
intending to barter the stolen magic for the assistance of
a ruthless demon. When her spell races out of control,
nearly killing a faerie young one, Artemis calls the spell
back. But not quickly enough to escape the notice of one
very angry, very sexy Celtic demigod.
