Amazon.com description: Product Description: En su viaje a Marsella, Jean Macrae, miembro de la estirpe escocesa de los Guardianes, es apresada por el atractivo y poderoso pirata Nikolai Gregorio. La joven pelirroja pronto descubrira que no se trata de un rufian en busca de un rescate, sino que, tras sus motivos, se esconde una antigua venganza hacia su propio padre, que abandono al joven Nikolai a su suerte en una emboscada en alta mar. Tras años como esclavo, el destino le brinda a Nikolai su momento de revancha, pero, desgraciadamente, sus poderes magicos no seran de gran ayuda contra la intrepida y curiosa escocesa, con la que, ademas, siente una conexion profunda. Presa y captor, incapaces de luchar contra lo que ya esta escrito, forjaran una alianza que les llevara a iniciarse en el arte de la magia, a conocer el alcance de sus poderes y a luchar contra la esclavitud, en una aventura a traves del tiempo, del amor y del significado de sus vidas. / Near the start of this diverting romantic fantasy set in 1753, the third Guardians novel from bestseller Putney (after 2005's Stolen Magic), Nikolai Gregorio, a handsome pirate captain operating in the Mediterranean, kidnaps pretty red-haired Jean Macrae, a member of the Scottish branch of the Guardians (humans with magical powers derived from nature), in revenge for a wrong he thinks her father did him 20 years earlier. A decent sort who possesses limited magical powers, Nikolai is dedicated to fighting the evil of slavery by freeing galley slaves. He even sets up an island refuge for them. After Adia Adams, a freed slave, travels back in time from 1787 London, the pirate and the fiery Scotswoman find themselves on a dangerous magical mission to strengthen the fledgling abolitionist movement. The mix of magic, time travel, history, adventure, romance and social consciousness will delight series fans, but may strike some readers as an incongruous blend.
