For generations, the mages of England have hidden from and secretly protected their normal, or unGifted, countryman.  Now a renegade mage has altered the country’s history to create a dictatorship of the mageborn.  Against him stand a handful of the Gifted led by Miranda Willoughby, a tavern maid with magical power and no training, and Richard Mainwaring, Lord Hawkstowe, an earl under a blood curse because an ancestor misused his magic.

Their quest to save their country takes them from the glittering court of Charles II to the foot of the gallows tree and beyond, to a shadowy realm between life and death where a final battle will decide not only England’s course but the fate of their love.

Geoffrey Armstrong, a spy for the Crown, infiltrates a nobleman’s guard to find traitors plotting against King Edward IV.  Uncovering them will restore the rank and respect he lost when his father disowned him. Unfortunately, he’s falling in love with his chief suspect’s lovely, compassionate daughter.

Set free by her abusive husband’s death, Lady Maud Greville resolves never to marry again.  Her heart, however, yearns for Geoff, her tall, brave guard captain.  His low birth separates them, but his courage in defending her from disappointed suitors touches her scarred, guarded heart.  After an attempt on Maud’s life drives Geoff to flee with her, the social gap between them disappears.  Fighting to survive creates a deep bond of trust between them and brings their passions to the fore.

When circumstances force them into a marriage of convenience, Geoff sees their union as his only way to protect her from lurking danger, but will his secrets shatter their growing love?
