Book Description

Publication Date: 2001

Kenric of Blackstone is tormented. Not entirely human, he cannot live with his past or with that he truly is. When he is needed to help in a battle that could destroy the earth, it is Megan who gives him strength, Megan whose kisses heal him...

In a strange land and time, it became clear to Megan Potter why she'd been summoned. This wasn't about Faerie prophecies or wizardry, or even a desperate struggle to find her way home. This was a quest to save a man's heart. And for the first time ever, she felt destined to prevail, because with her help she knew this handsome prince could discover the most powerful magic of all - Love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bring on the next one!, March 28, 2001

This review is from: Powerful Magic (The Magic Series, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. I liked reading how Megan traveled (actually was pulled) through time into the year 1072. Kenric, half faerie half human warrior, finds Megan huddled in a corner of his cave freezing. He agrees to help her find her betrothed when she promises Kenric land if he helps her return to where she's from. Not sure if she wants to go back escpecially to her abusive fiance right away Megan doesn't mention she is from the future. Kenric wants land so he may settle down, though he is half faerie he has avoided the faerie world and magic and refuses to use his powers. If he can return Megan to her betrothed he will be able to settle down on the land she has promised him as a human. Only problem is as the book progresses Kenric is more reluctant to return her to her fiance. Their adventure takes them to the faerie world and back. This book is well written and completely enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The magic will linger, February 22, 2001

This review is from: Powerful Magic (The Magic Series, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

Powerful Magic is a well written novel mixing lustful romance and science fiction with time-travel keeping the reader in suspense until the end. Karen masterfully presents the reader with images of magical places and real faeries intertwining the modern-day with the medival era. Soon, the reader is caught up in the fantasies and feels the magic of the love that will linger on their minds. I found it hard to put down. A "must read" for the sci-fi romantic!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like to escape reality, read this book!, September 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Powerful Magic (The Magic Series, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

Enter a realm where magic is ordinary. Kenric the hero is to die for and Megan could be one of my best friends. I love the kind of book where a wounded hero is healed by love, and this book certainly fits the bill. Add magic, time travel, and you have a book that will take you out of the everyday world to a place where all things are possible! And if you believe in the kind of love that transcends reality, this book will leave you with a warm glow! I look forward to more books by this author!
