Charming and mysterious, Stephen Dagmar is a stage magician seeking an assistant. The moment he sets eyes on Herman, he knows she’s the one. He brings her home to his Victorian mansion where they embark upon an extravagant romance. Yet a shadow hangs over their love. Will the curse on his family end Stephen and Herman’s happily ever after, before it really begins?
Amidst lace and leather, innocence and debauchery, The Magician’s Curse begins the Gothic tale of The Great Dagmaru. Magic and romance await.
My Review
If you’re a fan of fantasy, intrigue and gothic romance then this is the book for you.
The chemistry between Stephen and Herman is enough to make your Kindle start to smoke.
And with a well rounded, and intriguing in their own right, cast of secondary characters, not a page goes by without something to catch your imagination.
I would have loved to see more of Stephens magic but with a second book around the corner to carry on Stephen and Hermans story, I’m sure we will have plenty of opportunity for more magic.
