Years ago, the Trolls were banished into the Nether, a void of evil and darkness between the magical realms. With their greed and treachery locked away, peace has reigned throughout the worlds. But not for nineteen-year-old witch, Aramina. Being discovered to be a non-magic-a witch with waning powers- has cost her everything. A place among her people, her future as the next High Mistress of Magic, and the man she loves. Determined to live a life without magic, Aramina's plan is foiled when Roane, a man of many secrets and tattoos thwarts her kidnapping. He introduces her to a world where non-magics are being hunted and sent into the Nether. She will never be safe unless she finds out why the Trolls need non-magics and who is smuggling them into the Nether. To get her answer, Aramina will be forced to face an evil that's had a chance to grow, and to defeat it, she'll need a different kind of magic. The kind she'll only find within herself. That is if she can finally face her demons, and if Roane's secret doesn't get her killed first.

A fierce Knight... Known for his victorious battles on the field by day and his prowess by night, Lord Duncan of Chaswick, fierce Knight and Warrior, had no idea how much his life would change. Standing before him in his chapel, the most alluring, strangely clad girl scattered his very thoughts to the four winds and awoke in him feelings he has never felt before. She was an irresistible challenge for the fierce knight, the voluptuous beauty was too brazen, bold, and fearless, and he wanted her. A passion of desire would ignite within him, and he vowed she would be his. He would defy time itself to keep this Misplaced Angel by his side. A beauty tossed in the past... Tara Micheals, a hip 21st-century teenager on a class trip to England, never expected a full packaged deal: cool parties, beautiful scenery, being tossed back to the 12th century into the arms of a fierce knight.

Trying desperately to return to her time, she has found that a desire for him has grown into love, and she is torn between the two worlds. Now, lost in time and confronted with this handsome warrior, she's faced with the hardest decision of her life. Either return home or defy the laws of time to be with him.
