Plot Summary of Breath of Magic
"Author Teresa Medeiros has done it again! A true cornerstone in her body of work, Breath of Magic tells the tale of Tristan Lennox, a gruff, cynical, disillusioned genius billionaire who literally crashes into Arian Whitewood, a sprightly novice witch who's just been saved from Puritan New England in the seventeenth century. Afraid of one another and equally as afraid of what they do to one another, Tristan and Arian dance around one another in a witty, poignant way until a secret from Tristan's past, and almost inexplicably, Arian's past as well, threatens to destroy them both. "
Meredith Griffin, Resident Scholar

"He is an arrogant and cynical businessman and she is a naive witch from the time of the witch trials. An amulet sends her flying into her time, where the two meet and dance around one another. This is a love story, but it also has a strong plot in which she rids him of his cynicalness and he tries to tame her. "
Lauren O'Brien, Resident Scholar
