Bonds of Magic
Book Three

The epic story of Nic and Gabriel concludes…

His Darkness, Her Brightness… Together They Defy the World

Lord Gabriel Phel at last holds his dream in his grasp—and faces losing everything. He’s finally won the love of his wife, familiar, and mother of his child, and she offers him a heartfelt commitment he can truly believe in. Together they’re building a true house, one with a growing family of friends and allies that can help them stand against their enemies. And he’s learning to master his magic, to use it as the powerful tool and weapon it should be. But old and new enemies array themselves to take it all away.

Lady Veronica, now fully of House Phel, is doing her best to embrace happiness. After all, she has her hands full managing her mercurial and powerful wizard as he navigates taking his place as the head of their house, and with learning her own extraordinary ability. But she fears whatever peace they win won’t last long. When their enemies inevitably strike—including, perhaps, her own father—they must be ready to defend all they hold precious. It doesn’t help that her idealistic husband insists on making foolishly noble decisions that put them at even greater risk, nor that she loves him all the more for it.

As Nic and Gabriel struggle to put their household in order, giving ill-advised safe harbor to Nic’s runaway sister and risking their lives to save Gabriel’s sister’s sanity, their enemies draw the noose tighter on their well laid plans. When the unthinkable occurs, it’s up to both of them to trust in the nascent, unknown magic they’ve woven together.

Dedication

To David,

because it’s been a while since I dedicated one to you,

and because you know me better than I know myself

Acknowledgments

Thanks to Carien Ubink and Marcella Burnard for that last-minute critical read. Thanks to Darynda Jones and Kelly Robson, too, who never doubted that I’d finish on time.

And love to Grace Draven, because, because, because…

A round of coffee to the Writer Coffee peeps—Emily Mah, Jim Sorenson, and J. Barton Mitchell—for weekly doses of peopling. You all are awesome.

Shoutout to the staff, board, and key volunteers of SFWA. It’s amazing to work with all of you who make my job so easy. Special thanks to Terra LeMay, for asking about the book and rooting for me to break the curse.
