Maria Del Voscova is a powerful witch with a past. When she’s asked to become a member of the elite Guardians she knows she can’t risk sharing the truth about her messed-up family. But we don’t always get what we want. Sometimes, we don’t always know what we want.

Though Mar absolutely knows she doesn’t want Neeren, King of the Parthen. She alone sees the darkness in him and it reminds her too much of the past. She knows better than to fall for his stoic, tortured soul façade.

She’s training to be a Guardian, a shadow; tasked with keeping the balance between good and evil in the world. It’s what she wants—to be better than her family was.

But the past has a way of catching up to Mar and the future has a morbid sense of humor. On her first mission, she’s kidnapped by the enemy she’s been running from her entire life. Thankfully the guardians look after their own. As it turns out, so does Neeren.

As Mar finds herself caught between the past and the future; between blood and bond; between the light and the dark, she realizes her only chance at surviving may be in trusting a man who is the most dangerous of them all.

Rayanne Haines grew up on a small horse ranch in Alberta. She spent most of her youth re-enacting scenes from Anne of Green Gables to attentive audiences that included pygmy goats and roan stallions. The horses were thrilled. Her father could never figure out why it took her three hours to clean the barn.

Her mother is an avid reader and instilled a love of literature in her at a young age. She has always been fascinated with learning people’s stories.

She has a fondness for mountains and rivers and all the creatures that live within them. She believes in magic and the search for great love. She loves to write about strong women who will accept nothing less.

This second installment in the Magic Born series is a step up from the first. It picks up where the original left off and takes you back to the world of paranormal Guardians, witches, and shifters. I need to point out, though, that there were some continuity issues, but it didn’t take much away from the initial story.

This story focuses on Dreamwalker and King of the Parthen Neeran, Alex’s brother, and sassy sorceress Mar. Mar is kidnapped while on a mission and Neeran is sent after her to rescue her. The chemistry between these two are pretty interesting to say the least. The foundation was built in the first book and carried over quite nicely to this next book and continued to flourish right before my eyes.

I’m very attached to these characters and much like the first one, the action kicks right in and never lets you go till the very end. I can’t wait to see what may happen in the next book!
