Mageverse Series
When developing her Mageverse series she wanted to create a unique spin on the vampire tale. Taking the Arthurian legend and twisting it, she has vampires that are not evil, still possess their souls, and can reproduce. Merlin was an alien who traveled to Earth from the Mageverse (an alternate world where magic is everywhere) to establish protectors. Merlin's race had seen species that destroyed themselves as they advanced. To avoid this, he searched Earth for worthy men and women who would give everything to protect others. After drinking from the Grail, men became Magi, vampires and women became Majae, witches. They have a symbiotic relationship. The Magi have to drink blood from the Majae to help absorb the energies of the Mageverse. The Majae have to donate blood or they will suffer heart attack from excess blood and elevated pressure. The Majae are the magic in the Mageverse. The Magi also sleep during the day as another means of gaining magic. The men and women could theoretically live forever, should they not be killed.
They are capable of reproducing with mortals to ensure that there are more potential candidates to recruit. Anyone born of such a union is a Latent. Their Gift, becoming Magi or Majae, is triggered by three or sexual encounters with a Gifted man or woman. A Latent must be approved by the Magi or Majae councils. Many can not psychologically handle the impact of the Mageverse (It can trigger insanity). There are professional court seducers who Gift latents on the Councils orders.
On Mageverse Earth, there are Fairies, Dragons, Unicorns and the city of Avalon where the Magi and Majae live. They magically create gates to travel to Realspace Earth. The Fairies are featured in Master of the Moon, which has King Llyr of the Faeries.
Merlin, who knows that power can corrupt, created another magical species in case the Magi and Majae become out of control. These are werewolves. They do not have to wait until the full moon to change. They are a rigid society that has been hidden from their inception. In Master of Wolves, the werewolves declare themselves and fight alongside the Magi and the Fairies.
Master of Swords introduces the dragons of Mageverse in more depth and the hero for Master of Dragons is introduced. Master of Smoke introduces some new characters, Eva Roman, who saves a handsome shapeshifter who is void of his memory due to an attack and therefore does not know who he is. Eva calls this shapeshifter david not knowing his true identity to be SMOKE, a sidhe warrior. wikipedia..
Does that sound exciting or what? Until recently I had read half way through and somehow forgot about it.. I am now happy to say I am up to date and hope the rumors aren't true.. Does anyone know if Ms Knight is ending this series?

Wow. There is a lot of stuff going on here!
ReplyDeleteHey Shauni I've read this series and loved every book so far. I don't think I'm quite caught up though, believe I'm one or two away from being caught up. I left off at Smoke's book, still need to read that one. Is there another after that one? Haven't checked her page in a while. I'd be sad to see the series end, it's a fun one for sure. Love that The Knights of the Round table are vamps and their women witches, too cool. My fav is Lancelot of course, damn sexy bad boy. ;-) I also like Gawain, he's a sexy vampire knight too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThere is Smoke, Shadows and Darkness..
DeleteSmoke's book
Tristan's Book
and then one about some characters we met in those two books..
Thanks Shauni, I really need to get caught up with this series. I just hope she doesn't end it. It's a fun series
DeleteShauni seriously love Angela Knight. I have all the Mageverse books. I also really love her Time Warriors and am waiting for Enforcer to come out. She write a sexy hot book with a great story .
