36. The Magpie Lord

By KJ Charles (271 pp, ebook)

This was another Fated Mates deep dive episode. What a treat to discover this author. The book is a Victorian fantasy romance. Lord Crane has inherited his family's estate/title after his father and brother both die under magical circimstances. But also they were terrible people. Lord Crane also suffers from a magical problem and needs to hire a magician named Stephen Day to figure it out. Only Stephen has a bitter past with Crane's family and comes to the job reluctantly. This story has powerful magic, creepy bad people, magpies. Sweet romance to see these two fall for each other while trying not to. Can't wait to read more books by this author.
