If you are looking for a great read in the YA genre, look no further the DARK PASSAGE!
In the exciting follow up to DARK MIRROR, Tory and her
friends from Lackland Abbey travel forward in time to help a
French scientist escape Hitler. Merlin's Irregulars are
grateful to have made it safely home to 1803 England, but
their view of the world has changed. Not only are they more
confident and proud of their part in the heroic Dunkirk
evacuation, but their powers have increased because of their
dangerous and exhausting magical work. Tory and Allarde
become closer everyday until an agonizing conflict threatens
to tear them apart. Allarde is deeply connected to his
family's estate, the land he will one day inherit, but only
if he denies his magical abilities and marries a non-magical
mate. Being with Tory will deny him his heritage, and his
family lets Tory know this. Will she have the strength to
end their relationship? Cynthia is now a powerful and
respected member of the Irregulars, but her prickly attitude
keeps everyone at a distance. Feeling isolated and very
alone at Lackland Abbey over the Christmas holidays makes
her even surlier than usual, but an invitation from Jack
Rainford to join in his family's festivities is an
unexpected delight, though heaven forbid she show her
gratitude! There's an attraction between the two young
mages, but will Cynthia let her guard down enough to let
herself fall in love? Then the Irregulars are called upon
once again, this time to rescue a vitally important French
scientist and his family from Hitler. Once before their
magic helped save England's future. Can they do that again?
