The eldest son and heir to Castle Leger, Lance St. Leger is plagued by an infernal restlessness that cannot be appeased, perhaps because the family legacy of strange powers is most pronounced in Lance's own dubious gift. He calls it night drifting--his ability to spirit into the night while his body remains behind. And it is on one wild night that he finds Rosalind, a young, sheltered widow who mistakes Lance's "drifting" soul for the ghost of Sir Lancelot. Lance teases and tempts her, fills her with a yearning her chivalrous phantom knight cannot satisfy. But in this place imbued with both true love and otherworldly magic, a new dire portent vows to come full circle. As a murderous enemy challenges the St. Leger power, Rosalind must tempt magic herself to save her beloved from the cold depths of eternal damnation.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The St Leger family are “cursed” with the legacy of strange powers. Each has their own special talents. Lance’s own dubious gift is “night drifting”, where he can spirit into the night, leaving his body behind.
By chance he comes across Rosalind a sheltered widow who mistakes Lance’s drifting as a ghost. Lance teases and tempts her with a yearning that her spirited knight cannot satisfy. But a new danger lurks in the background which threatens the St Leger power and Rosalind must tempt magic herself to save her beloved from the cold depths of eternal damnation.
A very intriguing romance – I could not put it down.

The Night Drifter is a wonderful continuation of the Bride Finder and I pray only the 2nd of many in this rich, saga. I had difficulty keeping my eyes tear-free so that I could read. The characters are so very down to earth and yet so magic filled.
I can hardly wait for the next installment; which will surely be the story of Val's bride. But of course there are Lance's children (surely)to consider. What wonderful traits will they develope? Ooow what possibilities.
The Mortmain family introduced in The Bride Finder made a reappeance in The Night Drifter, but with a difference brought about by Lancelot St. Leger in his attitude toward his contemporary ,Rafe Mortmain. This more enlightened openness of Lance brings the hope that perhaps this generational family enemy may, in time, grow from a bitter and bleak family group to reclaimed souls who do not automatically intend death to the St. Legers.
The Night Drifter and its predecessor, The Bride Finder, gave much joy. I am so glad I found them, and now must wait for their sequel(s); which I'm sure are in Susan Carroll's writers' aura.
Bravo Ms. Carroll, what a delectible banquet you prepare for your readers enjoyment!!

After falling in love with the St. Legers in The Bride Finder, I could hardly wait for Susan Carroll's sequel, The Night Drifter. I'm happy to say that I was not disappointed. This beautiful story contains all the elements I have come to recognize as Susan Carroll trademarks: wonderfully developed characters the reader grows to really care about; an intricate but well-crafted plot; heart-throbbing love scenes; a heart-stopping climax; and a message that confirms the power of love. As a plus, the story is set in beautiful nineteenth century Cornwall, England. This is a must read for anyone who loves romance and great story telling with a historical twist!

An enchanting tale!
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as The Bride Finder. It tends to run a little long in parts, but the love story is sweet none-the-less. Read more
