Previously published by Samhain.Īfter I finished writing The Magpie Lord, I wanted to find out what Stephen and Crane would do next. The rats are closing in, and something has to give…īook 2 of the Charm of Magpies series. He’s not sure if he can take that risk much longer. Stephen could lose his friends, his job and his liberty over his relationship with Crane. With all eyes on him, the threat of exposure grows. As he investigates a plague of giant rats sweeping London, his sudden increase in power, boosted by his blood-and-sex bond with Crane, is rousing suspicion that he’s turned warlock. When a blackmailer threatens to expose their illicit relationship, there's only one thing stopping Crane from leaving the country he loathes: Stephen. He knows Stephen’s job as justiciar requires secrecy, but the magician is doing his disappearing act more than seems reasonable-especially since Crane will soon return to his home in China. Lord Crane has never had a lover quite as elusive as Stephen Day.
