Description

The delicate peace between Silas and Kael is anything but simple. After the trials of their first outing, Silas—a mage whose volatile powers often threaten to consume him—and Kael, his fiercely loyal, muscle-bound protector, are thrust into a new nightmare. When a dangerous artifact is stolen, the pair finds themselves caught in a web of political treachery and ancient, forbidden enchantments that demand a price neither is prepared to pay. As they navigate the shadow-soaked underbelly of their magical society, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Silas is fighting to master his volatile magic before it destroys everything he loves, while Kael must confront the ghosts of his own past to ensure they both survive the escalating conflict. Their connection, forged in peril and cemented by mutual devotion, becomes their greatest strength and their most dangerous vulnerability. Stolen Magic is a gripping exploration of trust, growth, and the unbreakable bond between two men who are as different as they are inseparable. With high-stakes action, simmering romantic tension, and a world rich with mystery, this second installment forces the duo to decide if they are willing to burn the world down to save each other.

Magical Fantasy with a MM romance

This is a well written fantasy series and I love the alternate magical Victorian era London setting, and the lead characters Evander and Viggo are complex and compelling. Supporting characters are interesting as well. There’s wit, non stop action and lots of magic, and the story is briskly paced. Loved them!

M/M Romance and Mystery

Great 2nd book in the series. The story of Evander and Viggo (and a former lover of Evander's) solving the mystery of missing thralls was interesting and engaging.

Fascinating

Continuing on from book one, I could hardly stop reading. Complex but consistent world building. The addition of Leon was a nice touch and it was good to see how he and Viggo found peace with each other. Very much looking forward to the next book. Wondering just who “I” can be and what happens next. Highly recommended.

Charm, pathos,humor

Like most of Salinger's stories this one sparkles with just enough charm and world building to make it a good read. Her characters are well drawn, and behave like adults in real situations with enough sense to have real boundaries and actual disagreements without being idiots. It is a nice change from most romantic fiction.

“I”

Evander and Viggo are plunged into discovering why thralls and distinguished professors are missing. And what is the horrors and whispers of taking magic? They both face new adversaries but brandished by the same power hungry leader. Fast paced as usual with vivid descriptions!
