I found Angela Knight by accident. I read Christine Feehan's Dark Secret and the genealogy chart said that Rafael De La Cruz's brother Riordan had a story in the anthology Hot Blooded. Hot Blooded also had a novella by Angela Knight called "Seduction's Gift". I did not like it at first--too many sex scenes and I did not get the plot, but then when I picked up Masters of the Night, things made more sense.
Angela Knight created the Mageverse world. She gave a twist to the King Arthur legend. her Merlin is an alien from another planet who traveled to earth to find protectors, men and women who would give anything to protect everything. When men drink from the holy grail they become Magi (vampires) and women become Majae ( witches). The Mageverse Earth has Avalon, the city for Magi and Majae, dragons, the Sidhe (faerie) and dragons. They can gate to earth. Merlin also created the Direkind ( shapeshifting werewolves) who live on earth if the Magi and Majae get out of control. These magical characters can live forver if they don't get killed. Magi and Majae can reproduce with humans. Their offspring become Latents. Not all latents can become Magi or Majae and some remain mortal.
"Seduction's Gift", features Lancelot and the granddaughter of Morgana La Fray. Master of the Night is about an American Magi that has been around since George Washington's time. Master of the Moon is the story about Llyr, king of the faeries, and Diana London, a Direkind, who is also a city manager on Mortal Earth. Master of Wolves features another Direkind, Diana's brother Jim who masquerades as a police K9 to investigate a corrupt police departement. Two AnthologiesBite features "Galahad", a story about one of King Arthur Knights now Magi and Over the Moon features another Direkind romance. Master of Swords features another one of Arthur's Knight Gawain and his dragon friend Kel who is trapped in a sword.
The newest book Master of Dragons is the most exciting. Kel, the dragon knight, is now out of the sword and lving as a human in Avalon. He has to travel to earth to rescue Nineva, who is half Sidhe, half human. This book takes us to earth, the dragonlands, the Sidhe kingdom, and Avalon and we meet characters who have been in all books again.
Mrs. Knight is the wife of a police officier and a former reporter. She is an erotic fantasy writer. Her books are steamier than Susan Grants books and for adults only. They are fun to read.
