About this series
This time danger threatens their homes
Tory and her friends are celebrating the success of a second mission to aid WWII Britain when an urgent summons calls them back to their own time: Napoleon is on the brink of invading England. Can a handful of young mages stop an army?
In desperation, Merlin's Irregulars ask Rebecca Weiss, an untrained telepath from 1940, to come back to 1804 and change Napoleon's mind before it's too late. Rebecca agrees, willing to risk anything for the friends who saved her family--even her life and her budding relationship with Nick Rainford.
A daring mission takes Tory and Rebecca and their friends into the heart of the Army of Boulogne, where Napoleon is gathering ships and plotting invasion. But while their success may save England, they must still face the bittersweet consequences of their decisions when they return home.
"(This) rollicking adventure will have you on the edge of your seat… I highly recommend Dark Destiny. Do not miss it!"

Her exile becomes her destiny Sixteen year old Lady Victoria Mansfield is the cherished youngest child of a lord, and she is destined for a life of wealth and privilege. But Tory has a shameful secret—a secret so powerful that, if exposed, it could strip her of her position and disgrace her family forever. Tory's blood is tainted…by magic. When a shocking accident forces Tory to demonstrate her despised power for all to see, she's immediately exiled to Lackland Abbey, a reform school for aristocratic young men and women who are cursed with magical power. There she can be cured of her deplorable talents and maybe, if she's lucky, be able to return to society. But all Tory has known and believed will be challenged at Lackland as she discovers friendship and love with fellow students who call themselves Merlin's Irregulars, and are pledged to defend Britain whatever the cost. Even if that means traveling through time to face the guns of Dunkirk. *Dark Mirror was nominated by YALSA as one of the best YA novels of 2011* "Absolutely riveting…Putney creates a vivid historical fantasy and delivers a page turning read." —RT Book Reviews "I loved it!...Exciting, adventurous, romantic, and delightful!" —NY Times bestselling author Jennifer Ashley *This book includes "Fallen from Grace," a bonus short story set in the Dark Mirror world* M.

Risking danger, she finds hope and love The Irregulars return safely home to 1803 England, their magic strengthened by their heroic efforts at Dunkirk. But Tory is shocked when she realizes that the ever deepening relationship with Allarde will cost him everything. If Tory really loves him, she must walk away so he can find a non-magical mate and avoid being disinherited. But does she have the strength to leave the love of her life? Cynthia's heroic efforts at Dunkirk have won her the respect of the Irregulars, but her sharp tongue keeps everyone at a distance. Does she have the courage to risk love? Then the Irregulars are drawn into a dangerous attempt to rescue a vitally important scientist from Nazi-occupied France. Countless lives are at stake, but when the mission goes awry, will they all survive to return home?
