Prophecy states that the eighth son shall set them free, act in hope, and act in love. But what if hope isn't what it is portrayed to be?
Hope O'Niell has been communicating with the inhabitants of Nightfall for quite some time. Hope is from America in today's world and Nightfall is an island in another realm. A realm where magic rules and Nightfall is inhabited by eight brothers, four sets of twins. All of the brothers now have wives, with the exception of the youngest, Morganen. Prophecy suggests that Hope is to be Morganen's destined bride, and Hope is preparing to cross into his realm very soon. But Hope has a secret that could endanger her budding relationship with Morganen and the entire island.
Morganen cannot wait to have Hope by his side. He has bided his time patiently as his older brothers completed their verses of the prophecy. He and Hope have been courting by a mirror for over a year. He can't wait to actually feel her in his arms and fulfill his destiny.
When Hope arrives, she is overwhelmed to be on the island and immediately blurts out her secret. She is the original duchy of Nightfall and has been gone for over two hundred years. This surprising statement catches everyone unawares. Nightfall is about to invoke the Convocation of the Gods to become an independent nation. Saber's wife, Kelly, is the incepient Queen. With Hope's return, the crown is in question. Morganen, thrilled to finally have Hope with him, retreats emotionally. He wonders what else Hope has kept from him. This may be one prophecy that goes unfulfilled.
THE MAGE, (THE SONS OF DESTINY BOOK 8) is a delightful, fast-paced romp with all of its quirky twists and turns. Jean Johnson has built a fantastic world imbued with magic. The characters are engaging and utterly charming. As the last book in the SONS OF DESTINY series, I am saddened to see it come to an end. Johnson spins such a magical and fantastic web, I don't want to let go. Paranormal and Time-Travel lovers will adore THE MAGE.
I loved the whole series and was very impressed with it's ending. If I could of asked for anything to be added to the series it would of to been present for the birth of Serina & Dom's twins.
Final book in the Sons of Destiny Series. Great characters. The general plot continues with this book about the final couple, Morg and Hope. Author really overuses italics in dialog making it a bit choppy to read sometimes. But there are some nice twists and turns. And - no surprise, I'm sure - all ends well!
