Malachi Seymour, Earl of Graymar, is the Great Sorcerer
known as Dewin Mawr of the magic mortals. His royal family
has connections to the magic world in London that match no
other. Malachi has sworn to protect his family and their
secret at all costs. He has no idea that the woman he
thinks will expose and destroy his world with her words is
also sympathetic to his kind and is part of a test that
will change the course of his world as he knows it.
Sarah Tamony knows how to spin the wildest of tales. Her
famous writing has opened the doors of the ton and given
her an opportunity to ask her peers for interviews on the
magic she knows exists. All of her research and readings
tell her that Malachi Seymour will be an important
interviewee. Unfortunately, he has politely asked her to
leave him alone. Of course, this doesn't stop her from
sneaking around his lands to look for the ancient burial
grounds she's heard about.
I loved this story. It's intriguing and fascinating with a
clever twist of magic. Susan Spencer Paul has spun a
beautiful and wild tale.
My Dearest Reader,
For as long as I can remember, my life has been a solitary
one. Do not think me a pitiable recluse, for, as the Earl
of Graymar, I have taken my place in Society when I must,
and enjoyed both the company and pleasure of desirable
lovers. But as the Great Sorcerer, or Dewin Mawr, as magic
mortals call me, I have always believed that my destiny
and the duty I owe to all those who possess unique powers,
has precluded love, marriage, and true companionship. I
was resigned to my lonely fate. Until now…
Sarah Tamony is unlike any mere mortal woman I have ever
known. Passionate and bold, she has heard the whispers
about my people and discovered that I belong to an ancient
Welsh clan descended from magic. Yet the dark secrets of
magic mortals seem to hold no terror for her—instead she
asks to know more, even seeks to reveal the truth in the
popular tales she spins. This I cannot allow. For
centuries, my kind has striven to maintain our privacy,
fearful of what might happen if our powers should be
exposed to the world.
Sarah has learned a great deal about magic, but there is
still much she does not know, and dangers she cannot
fathom…dangers that grow closer every day. Her lightest
touch ignites a deep hunger in me, and her love is a prize
I would risk my life to own…for she has already stolen my
soul…
Your obedient servant,
Malachi Seymour, Castle Glain Tarran, Wales
