Saber and Wolfer, Dominor and Evanor, Trevan and Rydan, and
Koranen and Morganen. Eight brothers, born in sets of twins
two years apart, are exiled to Nightfall Island, where
they're cut off from the civilization of Katan and, more
importantly, women. If these brothers fall in love, they
will set into motion the Curse of Eight Prophecy, which
promises disaster of unimaginable proportions. The first
brother has fallen and his portion of the prophecy has come
to pass. Now a childhood friend plots to join them on
Nightfall Island to save herself, and perhaps to save the
brothers as well.
Alys of Devries has lived in the threatening presence of
her uncle for years, doing his bidding and in fear for her
life. When her uncle sells her into marriage for the magic
and bounty he will acquire from the union, she knows it's
time to flee. Using her secretly developed magic abilities
and the assistance of a secret friend, she plots her escape
carefully and flees to Nightfall Island, home of the exiled
brothers who had once been her friends.
Second-born Wolfer is delighted when Alys appears on the
island. The two have long-harbored an affection for one
another that flames into intense sexual awareness when they
meet again as adults. Kelly, the self-proclaimed sovereign
of and the first woman on Nightfall Island and wife of
oldest brother Saber, takes Alys in hand, teaching her not
only the ways of self-defense, but also the ways to entice
a man.
The inhabitants of Nightfall Island have old threats to
deal with and the arrival of Alys brings a new, more
imminent danger into the midst. Third brother Dominor is
still missing, kidnapped by those seeking to take over
Nightfall Island, and Alys' uncle seeks to destroy the
brothers in order to gain power in their world.
THE WOLF is the second of Jean Johnson's Sons of
Destiny novels. It's an entertaining story, easier to jump
into than the first, if you're familiar with the characters
and the world they inhabit. Alys and Wolfer's relationship
is sensual and readers will enjoy learning more of the
prophecy and how it impacts those of Nightfall Island.
Enjoy!
Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years
apart to the day--they fulfill the Curse of Eight
Prophecy. To avoid tempting their destiny, the brothers
are exiled to Nightfall Isle, a land where women are
strictly forbidden. When a childhood friend seeks refuge
among the brothers, it triggers a confrontation with their
mysterious enemy.
Alys arrives desperate and afraid, but welcomed by Wolfer,
the second-born brother who harbors deep feelings for Alys.
But she harbors a secret: her own uncle is tormenting the
exiled brothers, and seeks to kill them to secure their
ancestral inheritance for himself.
Confessing her uncle's plan to the brothers puts them at
even greater risk, for their resistance against the evil
mage has stirred his wrath. Alys fears her uncle is
determined this time to exterminate the brothers once and
for all-destroying the star-crossed lovers as well.
