| Three decades have passed since Elizabeth became queen of England, ushering in an age of Gloriana. However underneath in the bowels of the catacombs, ruthless Invidiana rules the fae with an iron hand.
Working as a courier under the tutelage of his mentor, spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham, Michael Deven meets bewitching Lady Lune, an undercover fae wearing a mortal disguise. Lune fears her dark Queen Invidiana; so in order to avoid her rage and worse, she infiltrates Walsingham's network. She plans to use and discard Michael, who obviously wants her. However to Lune’s trepidation and dread, she is as attracted to the bewitching human as she thinks he is to her. However she knows he could not survive in her realm, while she cannot remain in his, as her queen would never allow her or him to live.
Midnight Never Come is an intriguing Elizabethan romantic fantasy in which Marie Brennan makes her two realms seem real by using historical events via flashbacks to anchor the Tudor reign and enabling the darkness to grow stronger in the shadows. Fans will enjoy the star-crossed love between the Fae and the mortal, as honor and loyalty war with ambition for power in a Faustian age of deceit. | | |
