Arora of the Shifterai and her sister Mara have traveled far
and wide to escape those who want to do them harm. Mara can
shift change into animals while Arora can read a person's
aura and feed off their emotions. These two women are very
powerful and if caught by a power-hungry mage, they will be
used to cause destruction and become tools for evil. The
sisters are able to find a safe haven in a distance land
where they hope they now can be safe. But they are not aware
of the eight brothers who are cursed and have been exiled on
this same land. Aurora will be in for quite the surprise
because she will meet her intended mate.
Rydan of Corvis prefers to be by himself and live like a
hermit, even away from his family. Most of his brothers have
found their mates and have married, whereas Rydan is still
without one. His one brother, Morganen wants Rydan to find
his mate because he longs for his own. He speeds along Rydan
and Aurora's meeting with some magic, and before long Arora
meets Rydan as she goes exploring around her new home. She
finds a cave and notices a man sleeping there. Even though
she should run away, she can't help but watch him sleep. He
grabs her and pulls her down with him on his bed because he
is in the middle of an intense sensual dream and begins to
act out his fantasy with Arora. Rydan is able to wake before
he goes too far with the young maiden.
Aurora and Mara are accepted by all those who live on
Nightfall Island. Rydan wants nothing to do with these two
sisters even though his body longs for Arora's touch. But
Rydan mistakenly thinks that Arora is meant for his older
brother and feels both guilt and jealousy. And when he finds
out that Arora is indeed for him, he must decide if he is
willing to accept his destiny and help Arora unlock her
magic she tries to keep dormant or turn away from her and
all those who care about him because of the emotional walls
he has place upon himself.
If you are a fan of Jean Johnson's Sons of Destiny series,
you will not want to miss out on this latest installment,
with THE STORM. The hero of this tale, Rydan, is one of the
most tortured of all the brothers and most readers will feel
for his pain. This is a man who hates large groups of people
and prefers to be a loner. But the joy in reading, is
watching as those emotional walls he has placed upon himself
crumble as Arora comes into his life. Arora is one woman who
can see inside his soul and why he acts the way he does. She
becomes the pursuer in their relationship and won't let him
go without a fight. And if you are a big fan of strong
heroines, THE STORM is the perfect read for you.
Jean Johnson has quite the following with this series and I
can see why because she is so skilled at writing unique and
engaging characters with magic and adventure. THE STORM is
one interesting read that will leave you longing for much more.
Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years
apart to the day—they fulfill the Curse of Eight Prophecy.
Though no longer trapped in exile, their growing family
faces new problems. Now Rydan, the tormented sixth-born
son, must find a way to trust his Destined bride, Rora, a
woman who possesses her own secret power—one that could
bring them together or annihilate their world forever.
