At last, he was on his way and the two long lost magic
jewels would be restored to their rightful place in the
shrine in deepest Africa. Nigel Oldhall, alias Enoch
Jones, Flight magician on the Cape Town, would be glad when
this adventure was over. It hadn't brought him the joy he
had expected, but he was always aware he couldn't relax his
guard. Always the loyal British subject, Nigel knew that
Queen Victoria also wanted the jewels to restore her
shrinking empire, but he is compelled to follow this higher
mission, even if it means sacrificing his own life.
With his hundreds of spies and his own powerful psychic
magic, Zhang, the second-in-command in Imperial China, soon
knows of the unique treasure that Nigel was carrying.
Being very ambitious with few, if any, scruples, Zhang knew
how he could manipulate his way to obtain the position he
long sought. With the old Emperor dead, the young Emperor
Wen, a young lad lost in opium dreams, China was his to
control. Nothing could stand in his way.
Although not as pliable as Wen, Zhang has ways to handle
Wen's loyal step-sister, Red Jade, that mixed offspring of
a foreign devil woman. Yet, when Red Jade encounters Nigel
and the nature of his magic, she feels compelled to stop
Zhang. With treachery on all sides, can she make the right
choices?
When unexpected advice and support comes from Wen's Third
wife, Red Jade learns an archaic secret that will restore
her family's rightful kingdom. Can they accomplish the
tasks in time to save their empire and heart's love? Will
she have the strength to set aside the tender growing
feelings she has for Nigel?
In this compelling conclusion to her British Empire
alternate history trilogy, Sarah A. Hoyt, instantly pulls
you into the intrigues of Imperial China filled with the
power and might of the Chinese were-dragons. In this
sensual fantasy romance, Nigel, the hero of Heart of
Light and the fearless Red Jade struggle between their
conflicting loyalties and honour obligations as they find
themselves on the cusp of love. While new Hoyt readers will
find HEART AND SOUL fascinating on its own, fans of the series
will welcome the return of Lord St. Maur and Sofie,
from Soul of Fire to wrap-up their story. A great
series
you won't want to miss!
Within the magical realm of a Victorian British Empire that
never was, one man embarks on a fantastic mission that
dates back to the first true king of Europe and that may
determine the fate of the last true emperor of China–and
the world.
When Nigel Oldhall hires on to pilot a magic carpetship
under the name of Enoch Jones, it seems the perfect way for
him to travel without attracting attention. For the
English nobleman has in his possession the two most
powerful jewels in the universe. His mission is to return
them to their shrine in deepest Africa, restoring order to
the world–and to his life. But he doesn’t count on being
attacked by Chinese pirates–or being held captive by a
shape-shifting beauty…
Daughter of the Dragon King, sister of the new True Emperor
of All Under Heaven, Red Jade is also on a mission: to
reclaim the royal status stolen from her family by
invaders. Since their expulsion, they have ruled only a
mystical shadow-realm. Now, with the jewels in her sight,
Red Jade has the chance to rule all. But she soon finds
herself, and Enoch, trapped in a scheme that may cause her
to change loyalties–and discover her heart’s true destiny.
