Salt Magic Skin Magic
Lord Thornby has been trapped on his father's isolated Yorkshire estate for a year. There are no bars or chains; he simply can't leave. His sanity is starting to fray.
When industrial magician John Blake arrives to investigate a case of witchcraft, he finds the peculiar, arrogant Thornby as alarming as he is attractive. John soon finds himself caught up in a dark fairy tale, where all the rules of magic - and love - are changed.
To set Thornby free, both men must face life - changing truths - and John must accept that the brave, witty man who's winning his heart may also be about to break it. Can they escape a web of magic that's as perilous as love?

This story is a very well developed, mystical, magical story. I love to read something that is out of my box on occasion and this was right up my alley.
Joel Leslie is the master at bringing stories to life with a unique voice and inflection. I think I enjoyed his narration much more than I would have reading this on my own.
If you love magic, deceit, potions, spells, unique creatures, fantasy, and suspense you will love this.

Lee lives on top of a hill in Wellington, New Zealand. She wrote her first novel when she was seven and never quite recovered. When she was a bit older, she studied ancient history and creative writing. Well equipped for modern life, she tried a few different jobs, including archivist and communications adviser.
Lee currently has a day job and all that, but when she can, she writes about magic and love. When she's not writing, or talking about writing, she loves reading, mainly fantasy, history, m/m romance, biography, comics, and children's books. Some of her favourite authors include Ursula Le Guin, KJ Charles, Peter Ackroyd, David Sedaris, Dylan Horrocks, Jordan L Hawk and Diana Wynne Jones.
Lee also likes libraries, folklore, (most) things with tentacles, cats and cold beer.
