Overview: "Lucy Derrick is a young woman of good breeding and poor finances. After the death of her beloved father, she becomes the unwanted boarder of her tyrannical uncle, fending off marriage to a local mill owner. But just as she is resigned to a life of misery, a handsome stranger—the poet and notorious rake Lord Byron—arrives at her house, stricken by what seems to be a curse, and with a cryptic message for Lucy.
With England on the cusp of revolution, Lucy inexplicably finds herself awakened to a world where magic and mortals collide, and the forces of ancient nature and modern progress are at war for the soul of England . . . and the world. The key to victory may be connected to a cryptic volume whose powers of enchantment are unbounded. Now, challenged by ruthless enemies with ancient powers at their command, Lucy must harness newfound mystical skills to preserve humanity’s future. And enthralled by two exceptional men with designs on her heart, she must master her own desires to claim the destiny she deserves."
First off I loved this book. I loved the intrigue. I loved the magic. This is another book that I wished I had purchased instead of borrowing it from the library.
I know a lot of people will not like this book, and they will not enjoy it as much as I have. There are people that will be concerned with the witchcraft aspect of the book.
I loved Lucy, she is not perfect, and at times her character is a little flawed, but I loved her.
I believe the book was well done, and the author put together a great story. It was a fast easy read. I loved how all the pieces fit together.
