Stolen Magic (The Mage and His Brute Book 2) - Hardcover

by Ava Marie Salinger (Author)

Magic defines who they are. But what happens when that power can be stolen?

In a Victorian London where magical privilege divides society, Duke Evander Ravenwood and Viggo Stonewall have forged more than just an alliance-they've fallen in love. But their happiness is short-lived when a new threat emerges from the shadows of London's magical society.

A renowned professor from the Royal Institute for the Arcane has vanished, leaving behind whispers of forbidden magic and mysterious experiments. As Evander begins to investigate, complications arise with the arrival of his enigmatic former lover from Paris. An expert called in to help, Leon Beaulieu brings old emotions and new secrets to light and soon becomes a source of jealousy for Viggo.

Meanwhile, troubling rumours reach the Nightshade network: thralls linked to noble families are disappearing across London. Determined to track down the perpetrator, Viggo and his friends are drawn into a perilous hunt for an elusive adversary working from the shadows.

Realising their cases are intertwined, Evander and Viggo join forces to unravel the mysteries behind the professor's disappearance and the missing thralls. But their search soon plunges them into a web of conspiracies rooted in decades-old betrayals and ambition-where nothing, and no one, is quite as it seems.

As allies become adversaries and the true mastermind closes in, Evander and Viggo will need their wits-and their trust in each other-if they're to survive the darkness gathering around them.

Stolen Magic is a spellbinding tale of magic, mystery, and romance that will captivate readers from the first page to the last. Perfect for fans of historical fantasy and LGBT romance, this second instalment in The Mage and His Brute series promises an unforgettable journey through a London where love and magic intertwine in the most unexpected ways.
