Allie Monroe is a healer, living in New York City, modern day. When she then meets Black Royce, a Master and the most compelling man she has ever met. When he dies trying to save her life, she refuses to accept his death as fate. So she convinces his closest friend to take her back through time to save him. Only this Royce is far difference from the one she has fallen in love with in her time. Now time is running out for them both as they must face Royce's enemies together, and hope it doesn't cost them both their love and their lives!!Dark Rivals is the second in the Masters of Time series, and I just had such a fun time reading Royce's story. It starts with a tender love story which becomes very emotional when we see Royce being killed, however the story is only at the beginning. Brenda Joyce takes the reader on a thrilling adventure back through time and space, where two people discover that their love is magical and one that will last through the ages. A FANTASTIC READ!!!
