Delphinium, or A Necromancer's Home

Larkspur #2

by V.M. Jaskiernia

Lady Elizabeth Anne does not know about the dark magic her beloved practices, and he has no intent to tell her. As they travel to his childhood home for the summer, Pierre Salvador attempts to balance his newfound love with his murderous cræft.

After they arrive the future Duc de Piques finds there is much to be done, and duties cannot be put off any longer. A fatal illness is spreading throughout his land, he is being claimed by those of Faery, and someone has already tried to take his life.

But it will take much more to kill a lord of death.

[BookishWeeb Olivia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have to say, this book compared to the first book in this series, was much more enjoyable. Delphinium by V.M. Jaskiernia, is the second novella in the Larkspur series. Continuing with similar themes from the previous book, this was dark and magical and just the right amount of romance to keep me quite entertained. I've enjoyed reading about Elizabeth and Pierre and I wasn't left danging as much, like Larspur.

Gorgeous narrative and fantastic world building. I was engrossed and thoroughly enjoyed the character's dynamic.
