Amazon says
The Magisters is a science fiction story with a difference. Apart from chronicling the ultimate change of life for a select few individuals, it questions all accepted ideas by closeminded academics that leave no room for alternative thinking by some among their number. It is also about a woman born ten years after the Romans left Britannia forever and a man born in the twentieth century. Add to that everything that is currently environmentally wrong with our planet today, and you have all the necessary ingredients for an enthralling tale. Now read on…
My review
This is a quick and highly entertaining read about a few selected people from throughout history (Magisters) who are chosen by an ancient extra terrestrial to help him maintain certain historical monuments. The alien comes from an advanced race on another planet who have damaged their own home environment and the historical monuments guarded by the Magisters have a historical usage by this alien race that is very different from what modern man believes.
When a new comer, who has the power to restore these ancient monuments to their formal glory through his focused thoughts, finally joins the Magisters it enables their leader to re-establish his communication with his compatriots on his home planet. Using the Magisters collective powers, the leader is able to repair his space ships and travel back to his home planet as well as travelling around the earth world.
There is a bit of a romance slipped in which complements the main story nicely and makes two of the main Magister characters more human and believable.
Naturally, the scientists and politicians on earth notice the dramatic restoration of the seven historical monuments and question how this has occurred. How the leader and the Magisters deal with this curiosity and also with humanities determination to damage their planet home can be discovered by reading this fascinating novella.

Thanks Kim, and Jack has wrapped the whole story up tightly in a limited number of words which is difficult to do [I think].

I have to ask – romance between aliens, between humans and aliens, or between humans?

It is between these selected and advanced humans. The aliens are rather hostile towards each other.
