The Boar King’s Honor series #3. Historical WWII fantasy with mages, ghosts and romance. Conclusion to the series. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Series premise: A King wrongly blamed for murder. A bloodline cursed until they clear the king’s name. The books span three different generations. The first in the 17th century, the second in Napoleon’s lifetime, the third and final WWII.
American reporter Kate Shaw is in England covering the war. She takes photos of the men and the situation in Dunkirk and helps triage the wounded before finally escaping on a boat back to Dover. She meets Major Sebastian Mainwaring and is told that not only is she a distant relative but that she has been practicing magic in healing the wounded and hiding those around her by becoming invisible targets. Sebastian also tells her that the family needs her help in finding a cursed document from the 17th century and that her two make-believe friends from her childhood are actually ghosts and distant relatives that need help.
Kate and Sebastian are Seers. While searching for the lost document, they also help England against the Nazi’s.
Dual storyline of war and magic while Kate and Sebastian fall in love.
Enthralling tension of war offset by tender emerging feelings of love and family connections.
It’s a rich story on one side with tidbits of the early 1940’s from the shared rooming house to blackout curtains to how car headlights would be covered. Most of the actual events are only mentioned as time passes since this story is more about the magic and romance. Kate and Seb grow closer as he helps her learn to control her visions and they travel the magic world to end the curse. It’s dark with war and death, but also hopeful with love and a touch of magic.
I have not read the previous two stories but I do intend to go back and catch up at some point.
