Can a descendant of Merlin and King Arthur bring peace between King John and an aging (and almost respectable) Robin Hood? The quest for peace and protection in Britain has passed down from the Merlin and Arthur the Pendragon to the sole survivor, Resmiranda Griffin. Raised in the Christian tradition, she refuses to acknowledge her magical talents or the existence of helpful fairies, until dark forces force her into the complex politics, both mundane and magical, that divides England from their lawful king, John Plantagenet. Inspired by a demon, her distant cousin Radburn Blakely whispers divisive advice into John’s ear. Only Resmiranda can counter this darkness and lead England to what will create peace between a fearful king and his power-mad barons: The Magna Carta.
Finding the much-needed magic in their world dwindling with the depopulation of dragons, journeyman wizard Jaylor and witchwoman Brevelan begin a quest to discover who is destroying the dragons and why.
Caught between her beloved father, the Merlin of Britain, and Arthur Pendragon, the old ways and the new, Wren must find a way to balance the forces of Chaos with peace. She nurtures the land and the people, creating a haven for anyone displaced by the turbulence. And for the safety of all she must guard her heart against the deep love she shares with Arthur, a married king who holds the future of all the Britons in his hands with his sword.
When she discovers that her husband is not a traveling troubleshooter for a software company, but the sheriff of the International Guild of Wizards, and her brilliant children are budding magicians--and she herself is a kitchen witch--Daphne Rose Wallace Deschants must quickly harness her powers to protect her family from those who want to destroy them.
The complex fantasy tapestry of the acclaimed series comes to a thrilling climax in this fourth and final novel, as journeymen magicians Marcus and Robb, on a quest to find the missing dragons of Coronnan, become trapped in the workings of an ancient spell.
Three hundred years before The Glass Dragon, civil war has raged through Coronnan for generations. Fueled by jealous and powerful battlemages, no lord has emerged as a leader who can combine the warring factions in peace. The dragons have had enough when misdirected battle spells endanger them. They seek the one human desperate enough to listen to reason. Nimbulan has been hailed as the greatest battlemage of his age. His grief over having to kill his apprentice, the one he loved as a son, drives him to wander Coronnan in search of a better way, a different form of magic, anything that will end the endless wars. Along the way he finds some answers residing in the forgetfulness of Myrilandel, the love of his life, a witchwoman with a flywacket for a familiar. Can the dragons reach him in time? What will it cost Nimbulan, his love, and the dragons to finally bring peace to a land that has known nothing but war for too many generations?
Religious wars mar the glory of the early years of Queen Elizabeth I reign. A descendant of Merlin and King Arthur must step forward and show the world that you can put faith before politics. The glory of the Elizabethan Age is tarnished by the continuing religious conflict begun by Henry VIII. Griffin Kirkwood renounces his title, his lands, his love for the mysterious demon-ridden Roanna, and his magical heritage as a descendant of both King Arthur and the Merlin to become a Catholic priest in France. His twin, Donovan (his mirror image in face and form and rarely more than a thought away) shoulders the responsibilities willingly. He agrees to two arranged-marriages, one after the other, and takes on the outward appearance of whichever religion is dominant to protect all that he loves, but without magic, or the love of his life. Together and separately the twins must fight to guide Queen Elizabeth through the intricate maze of politics and religion. Their spiritual and magical journeys cross each other, oppose, and re-align as they battle internal demons and external threats.
Nimbulan, the founder of the University of Magicians and the kingdom of Coronnan, risks the safety of the citizens of Coronnan to find his long-lost wife, an exiled sorceress who remains the last link between dragons and mortals. Original.
Crown Prince of Coronnan, Darville de Draconis, fell ill after being kidnapped by a rogue magician and ensorcelled into the form of a golden wolf. Though he feels fully recovered, the Council of Provinces and his regent-the same rogue magician who kidnapped him-will not allow him to be crowned king until he marries the princess of their choice. Princess Rossemikka of Rossemeyer comes with an impressive dowry and a vital military alliance. The problem is that she too has been the victim of a magical transformation and exchanged bodies and spirits with her pet cat. The placid and boring princess presented to Darville is less than suitable. However, on a magical night, with the aid of the deposed senior magician of the commune of magicians, the real Rossemikka is revealed to him. He will settle for no one less than his perfect princess, but time is running out. If Mikka is not returned to her own body soon, she will forever be only a beloved pet and not his queen. But how will his few friends and allies reverse the spell that traps her in an alien body, thus saving the love of his life and his kingdom from a power mad magician.
