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 nowβ¦
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 herβinstead 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
fathomβ¦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 ownβ¦for she has already stolen my
soulβ¦
Your obedient servant,
Malachi Seymour, Castle Glain Tarran, Wales
