Synopsis

Long before Dorina Basarab was a respected member of the Vampire Senate, she was an outcast known as a dhampir. Half human, half vampire, all pariah, she scraped out a living catching monsters even more terrifying than herself. But perhaps the greatest foe she ever faced was also the most unusual—and the most dangerous.

Kit Marlowe wasn't always a senator, either. Once, he was a master vampire with none of the wealth, family, or experience that the rank should have afforded him. He had been Pushed, or forced into the position through a ritual that had risked his life, because his master desperately needed an operative who knew Elizabethan England. Leaving Kit two years into his undead life and facing a country about to go up like a powder keg.

Gillian Urswick was a witch torn between two men: the one she loved and the one she'd lost. But sorting out her heart required solving a mystery that involved the past and the present, as well as any hope she might have for a future.

Together, Dorina, Kit, Gillian, and the mysterious vampire Mircea, end up on a mission that will either save the world, or help destroy it.

Contains mature themes.

I started 2023 reading Junk Magic by Karen Chance, the second spin-off from her Cassandra Palmer series of Pythias, vampires and mages (and fey). I had certain expectations going in — namely that with our main character a war mage, we might focus on war mages — and I was sorely disappointed. Not jus......more

Goodreads review by Atrium-V on May 26, 2023

Time's fool is not a good book. It made little sense, jumped from one persepective to the next at the weirdest times and a lot of adventures fit very badly with the rest of the story. It was just quite chaotic writing. I don't mean the plot. The plot just has no purpose, no consequences, no reason whi......more

This story involves Gillian and Kit more than Dory! It feels like a Cassie story with all the time jumps. Not as fun as a Dory story though Mircea and Louis-Cesare show up!......more

Goodreads review by Robin on May 30, 2023

There is a war on. Critical characters are MIA. Dory is about to head to Faerie in search of Dorina. So many questions left hanging at the end of the last full-length Dorina novel in 2020. Then why the heck am I presented with a novel with Dory, Kit Marlowe and Mircea in the 15th & 16th century when......more
