Fugitive of Magic

Dragon's Gift: The Protector, Book 1

By: Linsey Hall

Narrated by: Laurel Schroeder

In the city of Magic's Bend, I protect what's mine. To the world, I'm a feeble Conjurer. To my closest friends, I'm a dangerous Magica with unexplainable powers given to me by a dragon. The downside? If anyone discovers what I am, I'm dead. So I lay low - kicking ass with my weapons, not my magic.

Things go to hell when I witness the murder of a powerful vampire ally and become the key suspect. Soon, I'm hunted by the sexiest, strongest supernatural I've ever met. Ares is an unheard of vampire hybrid, and it's hard to say if he wants to screw me or screw me over.

I've got three days to catch the real killer. The bad news? It will take my forbidden magic to succeed. But can I control it, much less keep my secret with Ares watching my every move?

I'm used to protecting others...now I have to protect myself.

Linsey Hall puts "fantastic" into "fantasy" with her new series!

Despite the already vast and ever-expanding realm of fantasy novels, readers continue to be presented with a relatively limited selection of magical practitioners and practices. Regardless of the series, one typically finds little variation among the usual cast of regulars.

"And now for something completely different..." From the very beginning, Linsey puts her own unique stamp on this series. There is a mix of traditional magical beings as well as new creations of hers. She also gives characters new types of abilities, each with their own limitations.

Linsey uses a deft touch in sprinkling the story with a variety of very funny puns, historical remarks, and jokes that seem particularly aimed at roughly the Generation X–vintage readers. I can't begin to count the times I found myself letting.

awsome book

accedentaly found this and after listing to a trial part found it interesting so I got it , it was a non stop listen I could not go thew it fast enoph and can't Waite for the next one, the way the magic was put it was even better and the mystery kept yanking at my brain.

like this book

this story was good and interesting I will see where this series goes next book

Interesting ...

I love the story and the different takes on it. However, it took me a very long time to get into it because I am picky about narrators. This particular narrator, tends to sound like she is talking with a growl at the end of everything she says. It drives me crazy so I can only listen for so long without having to skip back and listen again to get what I missed. I wish this weren't so.

magical excitement

This book started out sounding like a child's book but as it got into the story it got better. It's done in the first person so that could have been part of that. The heroine, Nix, is a fire-soul but since that has a death sentence attached to it should hides it and says she is a conjurer and a seeker. She witnesses a murder and tries to save the victim consequently is blamed for the murder. She is under a death sentence from the vampire court and has 3 days to prove her innocence. Those days are full of magic and fighting other mages and demons that are trying to prevent her from finding the true killer. I would recommend this book to any who want magical excitement.
