Story Line-:
After discovering that she
had a past life full of magic in Britannia thousands of years ago, Gwen must
race against time to stop three ancient magicians who threaten to tear the
world apart.
Having won a battle to save her own magic from being enslaved in Lives of Magic, Gwen is still reeling from memories of her past life and challenges her present one. Alone without the one she trusted most, she gathers her friends to search for others like her — those that can destroy the magicians once and for all.
But will the lure of infinite power be too much to resist, even for those sworn to protect?
As Gwen's group begins to fracture amidst division and millennia-old rivalry, reality starts to blur with the past until the lines between family, friend and enemy are no longer clear. Gwen needs to find the key to defeating the magicians before they recover their power — or else surrender to her past life’s magic and lose herself forever.

My Review-:
“Lives of kings” is the sequel
of “lives of magic”. At first I didn’t feel connected to this book, because so
many things were happening simultaneously so I decided to read the first book.
After finishing two books my expression was “This series is wonderful!!!”
The book is full of action,
magic, travel and smattering of romance, which will restrict you to leave the
book alone. But there is more going
for this novel than just solid, intensive research into Celtic myths and
culture.
Readers who enjoy a story
with latent historical elements, or contemporary fantasy would no doubt pick
this one right up.
