The Midnight Queen: A Noctis Magicae Novel

In the hallowed halls of Oxfordâ€™s Merlin College, the most talentedâ€”and highest bornâ€”sons of the Kingdom of Britain are taught the intricacies of magickal theory. But what dazzles can also destroy, as Gray Marshall is about to discoverâ€¦
Â
Grayâ€™s deep talent for magick has won him a place at Merlin College. But when he accompanies four fellow students on a mysterious midnight errand that ends in disaster and death, he is sent away in disgraceâ€”and without a trace of his power. He must spend the summer under the watchful eye of his domineering professor, Appius Callender, working in the gardens of Callenderâ€™s country estate and hoping to recover his abilities. And it is there, toiling away on a summer afternoon, that he meets the professorâ€™s daughter.
Â
Even though she has no talent of her own, Sophie Callender longs to be educated in the lore of magick. Her father has kept her isolated at the estate and forbidden her interest; everyone knows that teaching arcane magickal theory to women is the height of impropriety. But against her fatherâ€™s wishes, Sophie has studied his ancient volumes on the subject. And in the tall, stammering, yet oddly charming Gray, she finally finds someone who encourages her interest and awakens new ideas and feelings.
Â
Sophie and Grayâ€™s meeting touches off a series of events that begins to unravel secrets about each of them. And after the kingâ€™s closest advisor pays the professor a closed-door visit, they begin to wonder if what Gray witnessed in Oxford might be even more sinister than it seemed. They are determined to find out, no matter the costâ€¦
