His Magic Condems Him...
In a Victorian England with a rigid hierarchy of magic, lion shapeshifter Sir Terence Blackwell is at the bottom of the rung of society. Only Lady Felicity Seymour, who has no magic, no inheritance, and no prospects, may be willing to judge the man strictly on his own merits...
Until She Reveals His True Power...
When family pressures push Lady Felicity into a terrible fate, she has only Sir Terence to turn to. Together, the two outcasts become embroiled in the dark depths beneath society's facade. And what they discover about each other is the only thing that's real...
Enchanting the Lady is a fantasy / historical romance that centers on the story of Merlin.
The order of the monarchy is not pass down through the eldest of the family, it is passed down to the person that can hold it through their magic.
There are different levels of magic and so there are different levels in the monarchy; king, dukes, earl's, etc. At a certain point in their life, every child has to go through a testing which will allow the king to know what title this person will have.
Felicity is the acting Duchess of Stonehaven until she can prove that she has the magic to hold that title. The only problem is that she can sense her magic but she cannot seem to grasp it to use it.
Terrence Blackwell is a baronet. He is the lowest of the low in the magical chain since he has no magic whatsoever. What he does have is resistance against magic, which is why the king has awarded the Were kind a title, since they are the perfect bodyguards.
Terrence has been tasked with finding relics of dark magic that have different effects and they all manipulate other magic users in different ways.
Since the beginning of this book I was hooked and I was intrigued by all the different layers of magic and the monarchy and how they inherit their titles. It is a different concept and something I have not read before.
Although with some of the things I knew what was going to happen I still enjoyed the reading. Author Kathryne Kennedy knows how to weave the story and have the readers engaged.
I will be definitely reading more of this series. If you like historical romance and fantasy then you should really try this series.
