AUTHOR'S PREFERRED EDITION, RECENTLY REVISED AND INCLUDING NEW MATERIAL, EPILOGUE (AND CUT SCENE)
A dwarf at the door, brownies in the garden, and a merman near the koi pond…welcome to Mystic Circle in Denver, Colorado
Magic around the corner…
Kiri Palger knew the difference between reality—new house, hard work, and not too many friends—and fantasy—the fun she had playing an online game. And when the chance to work for the best gaming company in the world came up, how could she not apply?
Suddenly she had new friends, interesting neighbors and a handsome guy lurking nearby. Then the game began to awaken a new potential within her. Talents she never expected…and an evil she'd never imagined.
Now her nice, safe life was not the same—and once she took up the mantle of her powers, it never would be again….
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The third Mystic Circle novel (after Enchanted Again) develops the series' story line and the magical universe at the cost of the romantic elements. Denver computer support tech and gamer Kiri Palger leads a fairly isolated life, with just a few close friends. A passionate participant in the online role-playing game Faeries and Dragons, she aspires to become a writer for the game, created by Kiri's neighbor Jenni Weavers and her company, Eight Corp. Little does Kiri know there's real magic afoot. Merman Lathyr Tricurrent, who works in Eight Corp's human resources department, believes Kiri could transcend her humanity and become part of the magical Lightfolk, and Eight Corp's preliminary job offer to Kiri is actually a test for her potential to change. Owens excels at describing the Lightfolk and their manifestations and behavior in other realms, especially water, but romance fans will wish for more heart in the development of Kiri's isolated vulnerability and Lathyr's struggles with his mixed heritage before the resolution.
