Dark Mirror

2011

Na Inglaterra do século XIX, a magia pode mudar a história. Lady Victoria Mansfield, Tory, tem por destino uma vida encantadora e uma gama de pretendentes à sua altura. Até que uma assustadora descoberta ameaça arruinar sua vida e denegrir o nome de sua família para sempre: seu sangue está contaminado... por magia. Quando um terrível acidente obriga Tory a revelar seus poderes mágicos, ela é imediatamente exilada para um reformatório para jovens que carregam o terrível dom da magia. O maior desejo da garota é ser curada, voltar para casa e, talvez, recuperar um pouco de sua vida despedaçada. Em vez disso, porém, a curiosidade e a atração pela magia levam a jovem a se unir a alunos rebeldes, que resolveram usar seus poderes mágicos para proteger a Inglaterra. Ao participar dos estudos secretos do grupo, ela descobre a dimensão de seus poderes e se vê atraída pelo charmoso e enigmático marquês de Allarde. Embora ela possa ver o desejo em seus olhos, um aterrorizante segredo o mantém sempre à distância. Será possível que a escolha de Tory consiga aproximá-la de Allarde, a despeito de tudo que se interpõe entre eles?

Dark Passage

1800

The Irregulars return home to 1803 England safely, but their worldview has changed. Not only have their heroic efforts at Dunkirk given them pride and confidence but their dangerous mission has increased their magical powers. Tory delights in the ever deepening bond she shares with Allarde until she discovers how powerfully he is connected to his ancient family estate—the lands he will not inherit unless he denies his magical powers and chooses a nonmagical mate. If Tory really loves him, she must walk away—but does she have the strength to leave the love of her life? Cynthia's heroic efforts at Dunkirk have won her the respect of the Irregulars, but her sharp tongue keeps everyone at a distance. Isolated and very alone at Lackland Abbey over the Christmas holidays, she reluctantly agrees to join Jack Rainford and his family for their celebration even though they're commoners, far below her own noble rank. The warm welcome of the Rainfords makes her feel happier and more accepted than she has ever been. But she can't possibly be falling in love with flirtatious Jack! Can she? Then the Irregulars are drawn into a dangerous attempt to rescue a vitally important French scientist from Nazi-occupied France. Tory and Allarde must work together because countless lives are at stake. Disaster strikes and not only is their mission threatened, but their very lives. Can magic and their loyalty to each other help them survive to return home? Find out in Dark Passage—M.J. Putney's thrilling follow-up to Dark Mirror.

Dark Destiny

2012

Tory and her friends are celebrating the success of a second mission to aid WWII Britain when an urgent summons calls them back to their own time: Napoleon is on the brink of invading England. Can a handful of young mages stop an army? In desperation, Merlin’s Irregulars ask Rebecca Weiss, an untrained telepath from 1940, to come back to 1804 and change Napoleon’s mind before it’s too late. As Tory and Allarde make a commitment that will cost him his inheritance, Rebecca promises to do what she can to stop Napoleon even though she is unsure of her magical abilities. But Tory and her friends saved the Weiss family from Nazi imprisonment, and Rebecca will risk anything, even her life and her budding relationship with Nick Rainford, to repay them. A daring mission takes Tory and Rebecca and their friends into the heart of the Army of Boulogne, where Napoleon is plotting invasion. But while their success may save England, they must still face the bittersweet consequences of their decisions when they return home.
