Sylvia Izzo Hunter brought "both rural Brittany and an alternative Regency England to vivid life"* in The Midnight Queen, her debut novel of history, magic, and myth. Now, in her new Noctis Magicae novel, Sophie and Gray Marshall are ensnared in an arcane plot that threatens to undo them both.

In her second year of studies at Merlin College, Oxford, Sophie Marshall is feeling alienated among fellow students who fail to welcome a woman to their ranks. So when her husband, Gray, is invited north as a visiting lecturer at the University in Din Edin, they leap at the chance. There, Sophie's hunger for magical knowledge can finally be nourished. But soon, Sophie must put her newly learned skills to the test.

Sophie returns home one day to find a note from Gray—he's been summoned urgently to London. But when he doesn't return, and none of her spells can find a trace of him, she realizes something sinister has befallen him. With the help of her sister, Joanna, she delves into Gray's disappearance, and soon finds herself in a web of magick and intrigue that threatens not just Gray, but the entire kingdom.

      Hunter's entertaining second Noctis Magicae installment (after The Midnight Queen) follows mage-in-training and lost princess Sophie Marshall and her husband, Gray, deeper into court and magical intrigues in an alternate Regency-era Britain. When Gray is invited to lecture at the School of Practical Magick in Din Edin, capital of Scotland stand-in Alba, Sophie is excited by the opportunity to study at a school that welcomes female students; in Britain, such learning is thought to damage the "delicate female mind." Their visit is complicated by civil unrest, fed by rumors of a possible famine in Alba and news that Sophie's half-brother, Prince Roland, is to be prince consort to the daughter of Alba's head chieftain, creating a formal alliance between the two nations. When Gray is kidnapped, Sophieâwith the help of her sister, Joannaâmust call on the unique and powerful bond she and Gray share to try to find him and stop a plot that would change Alba forever. Sophie and Joanna play central roles, which will delight fans of strong women. Hunter's charming world, just a few steps off-center of our own, continues to offer many possibilities for future adventure.
