Brief Summary

Third in Mary Jo Putney's Guardian series, A Distant Magic features Jean Macrae, the fierce veteran of Culloden who appeared in the earlier Guardian novels. Jean is enjoying a pleasant journey to Marseilles to visit friends—until she is kidnapped by a dangerous pirate captain.

Betrayed into slavery by Jean's father, Nikolai Gregorio has sworn blood vengeance on the whole family. But Jean is his match, and together they forge an alliance to fight slavery. Aided by Adia, an African sorceress, they travel through time to protect the fragile beginnings of the abolitionist movement—and together they forge a love that changes them both forever.
