I think the premise behind this series sounds really interesting. It was released with Harlequin Nocturne last October, but it was released with Mills and Boon Nocturne for the first time on July 12th.
For the first time, P.C. Cast brings her unique brand of paranormal passion to Mills & Boon Nocturne as part of a thrilling new quartet, steeped in mystical powers, intrigue and passion.
Enter the world of The Avenger
as the Time Raiders continue their desperate quest for the key to peace… by casting another of their own into the dangerous unknown – with passionate results!
Alexandra Patton is no ordinary woman. A military secret agent and reluctant psychic, Alex never felt like she fitted in. Until, that is, the Time Raiders project sends her back to 60 AD Briton – a world where she can barely understand the accents, let alone its culture of brutality and superstition, but where at last she can use her skills as a psychic to help solve an ancient crime.
Arriving in Britain just as Queen Boudicca is rallying her army to battle, Alex must find the Roman Centurion who has stolen the Queen’s Torque and will ultimately be responsible for her death. Knowing that she can’t change history, Alex must try to find the Torque before everyone around her is dead. But as all those who know of its whereabouts are being brutally murdered, Alex must summon the dead to find out where the Torque has been taken. Disguised as a High Priestess, Alex befriends Caradoc, a local Druid who teaches her how to harness her psychic skills. The two soon become inseparable in their quest to protect history and love soon follows.
Torn between duty and love can Alex carry out her secret mission and return to her own world, or will she give in to the burning passion that has awakened her soul and risk everything to begin anew in this strange and mystical land?
Doesn’t that sound interesting? I’m not much for vamps or weres, but I really love the psychic paranormals. The setting really appeals to me, too.
Here’s an interview with P.C. where she talks about the series:
