The whole scene is told from Frank Merrick's POV - Lucien Vaudrey manservant (and so much more..). In the first installment "The Magpie Lord" there is a mention of Lucien getting caught with a dangerous warlord barely getting away. In this one Merrick tells us just how he managed to get his out and a bit of what happened during the time Lucien spent with Boghda.
There isn't a lot to this one but there is still one stubborn high lord who needs someone to take care of him - or else... As his future revealed he has a future with another magic wielder but this one, as powerful as he is, truly uses it for good. Merrick just hopes Lucien doesn't get on his nerves enough for him to get rid of him for good.. Ouch.

ABOUT THIS SERIES
A Charm of Magpies is a MUST READ simply FANTASTIC Paranormal Romance series set in Victorian times by K.J. Charles. The (main) series follows Lucien Vaudrey - Lord Crane and Justiciar and Magic Practitioner Stephen Day.
There are not enough amazing words to describe how much I love and recommend this series. It has everything anyone can wish for. Great romance with a beautiful build up. Banter galore. An interesting setting in Victorian London with more than a little sprinkle of magic. Action and mystery in every book keeping me at the edge of my seat for the mystery to resolve as well as for these two to find their solace together.
GRAB IT NOW! You won't regret it.
In "Jackdaw" we revisit Jonah Pastern who was a sort of a villain in "Flight of Magpies". We understand his reasons for acting the way he did and how he redeemed himself, not only from his action there but his life in general with help and support from Ben - the man he did it all for. It was a treasure of a book as well.
Ned and Crispin are a new couple as well, they have a short novella (of them getting to know each other) and a short novel of them pretty much saving the world.. It takes time in the same timeline as "Jackdaw" each explains why they were pretty much on their own fighting evil with very little help. I didn't really like these two together. They have a lot of potential but at their current state they are barely functioning which I had a difficult time with honestly.
