Stolen Magic (The Mage and His Brute Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Ava Marie Salinger (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 42 ratings
Magic defines who they are. But what happens when that power can be stolen?

In a Victorian London where magical privilege divides society, Duke Evander Ravenwood and Viggo Stonewall have forged more than just an alliance—they’ve fallen in love. But their happiness is short-lived when a new threat emerges from the shadows of London’s magical society.

A renowned professor from the Royal Institute for the Arcane has vanished, leaving behind whispers of forbidden magic and mysterious experiments. As Evander begins to investigate, complications arise with the arrival of his enigmatic former lover from Paris. An expert called in to help, Leon Beaulieu brings old emotions and new secrets to light and soon becomes a source of jealousy for Viggo.

Meanwhile, troubling rumours reach the Nightshade network: thralls linked to noble families are disappearing across London. Determined to track down the perpetrator, Viggo and his friends are drawn into a perilous hunt for an elusive adversary working from the shadows.

Realising their cases are intertwined, Evander and Viggo join forces to unravel the mysteries behind the professor’s disappearance and the missing thralls. But their search soon plunges them into a web of conspiracies rooted in decades-old betrayals and ambition—where nothing, and no one, is quite as it seems.

As allies become adversaries and the true mastermind closes in, Evander and Viggo will need their wits—and their trust in each other—if they’re to survive the darkness gathering around them.

Stolen Magic is a spellbinding tale of magic, mystery, and romance that will captivate readers from the first page to the last. Perfect for fans of historical fantasy and LGBT romance, this second instalment in The Mage and His Brute series promises an unforgettable journey through a London where love and magic intertwine in the most unexpected ways.

    Like most of Salinger's stories this one sparkles with just enough charm and world building to make it a good read. Her characters are well drawn, and behave like adults in real situations with enough sense to have real boundaries and actual disagreements without being idiots. It is a nice change from most romantic fiction.

    Evander and Viggo are plunged into discovering why thralls and distinguished professors are missing. And what is the horrors and whispers of taking magic? They both face new adversaries but brandished by the same power hungry leader. Fast paced as usual with vivid descriptions!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Page turner
    Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2025

    I've enjoyed this sequel as much as the first book. I won't repeat the blurb and try to avoid spoilers, so I'll keep this short.
    The Victorian London setting is done perfectly and it's obvious that author put a lot of research into the series. Add a great writing, seamless flow of the story, interesting side characters, a lot of magic, mystery, action and heat and you have an almost perfect read. Frankly it's a page turner. Evander and Viggo are still going strong in and out of the bedroom and the plot thickens. Their relationship is developing in all the right ways and here's the one of the reasons for 4 instead of 5 stars. Insta love bothered me in the first book. Insta attraction - absolutely! But love? Hmm... The appearance of Evander's ex in this second installment was the perfect opportunity to put some turmoil in their personal relationship. Not explored enough. Add one or two questionable decisions plot vise. No biggies, but they threw me off.
    Nevertheless I sincerely can't wait to read the next book in the series!
    Books should be read in order or you'll probably be lost.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Intertwining of Mystery, Suspense, Action, and Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2025
    Format: Kindle
    This is the 2nd book of The Mage & His Brute; the 1st book Arcane Entanglement must be read since this book starts immediately where the 1st book finished.
    Evander and Viggo's relationship continues to develop and grow stronger, blossoming with each turn of the page. Even though there is a slight hiccup of Evander's past love returning to his life, it is slightly minor. They communicate and it's resolved, no unnecessary dragged out drama. However, I do hope Leon does get his own story in which he finds his own love that gives his cocky attitude a run for its money. He was cocky but intriguing (and somewhat loveable, at least to me).
    Evander and Viggo continue to uncover secrets and stop another evil scheme from succeeding; however, the suspense of who is the mysterious and depraved "I" and the unraveling of who is behind the evil shadows continues.
    The stakes have gotten higher, the danger and fear becoming stronger, and no one is safe. It had me sitting at the edge of my seat, trying to get to the ending quickly, wanting and needing to know what happens but at the same time wanting it to last longer, reading carefully for any revealing clues.
    The author does a great job of intertwining the mystery, action, suspense, and romance without making any aspect be lacking, boring, or an afterthought. The complex mystery with so many little dropped clues and twists and turns strings the reader along, making them more invested in discovering the truth and connecting all the dots. The world building continues to be intriguing, filled with a motley group of well developed and loveable side characters.
    Now I'm anxiously waiting for the next book. I'm so invested in this world and can't get enough!

    Duke Evander Ravenwood and Viggo Stonewall have crafted a relationship that is more than professional. In their job, each man is presented with a baffling case. Evander has been called upon to investigate the disappearance of a renowned professor, with very few clues to go on. To complicate his investigation, his former lover appears as the Paris specialist. He too is investigating a disappearance, that of a professor from Paris. While Evander not long feels anything for him, Viggo finds himself jealous. Nightshade, Viggo’s work, learns of rumors where thralls are disappearing. Viggo and Evander realize the two cases are related.

    Stolen Magic is filled with lots of action, alarming revelations, and a deepening of feelings for Viggo and Evander. The plot was revealed slowly and skillfully. Each revealed fragment of the puzzle produced a feeling of dread and kept us glued to the pages. As the two men and their teams close in on their adversary, decades of shadow work are revealed and the danger increases. This part of the whole is concluded but there is more to come as they must find the very mysterious “I”, the master in charge. We can look forward to more amazing tales in this series. Let’s also hope we see more of Evander’s employees, they do add a chuckle or two.
    I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

    Stolen Magic is the second story in Ava Marie Salinger's The Mage and the Brute series. Archmage Duke Evander Ravenwood is tasked with finding a missing mage from the Royal Institute for the Arcane. Meanwhile, his lover, Viggo Stonewall, is investigating the disappearances of thralls, magicless folk. These investigations immediately follow the events in book one, Magical Entanglements and they discover that they're related cases. It's so early in their relationship and they have to put up with class snobbism and an annoying ex. There's danger and betrayal and a really edge of the seat, knuckle biting mystery.
    Historical and paranormal, oh my. Evander and Viggo sizzle. The pair are sleuthing their way though London, when they're not enjoying each other. World building is solid, but also a tad confusing. Thank goodness there's a glossary in the front of the book. It was definitely needed while reading.
    A nice read. Witty dialog. This was a complex and very absorbing world. We're once again left with a doozy of a cliffhanger.
    I received an advanced copy of this book and this is my review.
