Publisher's Summary:
Tudor England, 1559.
The Virgin Queen's Court whispers about shy scholar Lady Linnet Norwood, who spent a year and a day trapped in the Faerie realm and returned as a ruined woman. Linnet, however, is not yet free of magick. Otherworldly forces plot to use her to incite a bloody uprising that will twist the fates of mortal and Faerie realms alike.
Exiled angel Zamiel wavers on the edge of accepting an offer from his fallen father to become Prince of Hell. Lucifer knows Lady Linnet's significance, and urges his son to pursue and protect her for sinister ends.
As Linnet flees those who would make her a pawn, Zamiel follows, tempting her trust and her passion. But the more he employs his killing rage on her behalf, the more he dreams of laying it aside in favor of peace.
If the two can find faith together, they might sunder the unholy alliance that threatens the dawn of the Golden Age of England.
Members Reviews:
Steamy, YES, but not your typical romance novel. Kudos to Navarre
The Golden Age of England is threatened and the timeline of history as we know it will be changed forever if powerful forces of Heaven and Hell, Faerie and Mortal have their way.
Laura Navarre has done it again. "Midsummer Magick," the second book in her "Magick Trilogy" series is not your typical bodice-ripper romance novel. Navarre exquisitely interlaces the adventure of Arthurian legend, the timelessness of angelic lore, the intrigue of the English Tudor court, the magic of the Faerie realm, and deliciously passionate love scenes in this spellbinding novel. The mesmerizing story line will sweep you into its world and may even have you wondering if this alternate reality that Navarre constructed for her "Magick Trilogy" series might just exist somewhere, in some time.
"Midsummer Magick" finds country- bred Lady Linnet Norwood, a shy young scholar, as a lady in waiting at the coronation of the Queen Elizabeth Tudor. Linnet's mother, Lady Catriona Norwood, disappeared without a trace when Linnet was but five-years-old. As the only living soul left in the Norwood line Linnet is, for the moment, the Countess of the troubled lands of Glencross, Scotland.
For those who read "Magick by Moonlight," they will know that Linnet was considered missing--if not dead-- for two years by mortal time. The Tudor court thinks the worst of her--that she is a ruined woman who speaks madly about being kidnapped by fairies and whose father disowned her on his deathbed. And since Lady Linnet is a Papist in a decidedly Protestant court, there are those who consider her a threat and her loyalty to the Queen questionable. The story begins with Linnet being led to a trap where her killers await.
Enter Zamiel, the Angel of Death, son of Lucifer. Zamiel is unique in the Heavenly Host. Because his touch brings death, he leads a solitary existence that straddles the vast divide of the Heavenly Host and the Hell of fire and brimstone. However, the angel Zamiel has Lucifer's infamous rebellious nature along with his devilish good looks and charm.
Zamiel, on his way to deliver his touch of death, aids Linnet in fighting off her attackers instead of touching her. His good deed will be his undoing. He is exiled from Heaven and made mortal for his transgression of intervention. Now it is his soul that hangs in the balance.
