The Herald of Day

Romantic Historical Fantasy

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.
