In SHIFTER'S DESTINY, Elizabeth "Libby" Sweet and her
sister Maggie had grown up in a commune simply called the
Community; it was a peaceful place that outsiders had no
complaint about. But, things were changing in the commune
and not for the better. A flu epidemic costs the lives of
many, including their mother and father. The attention Ray,
the elected leader of the elders that governed the commune,
paid to 13 year old Maggie bothered Libby. It wasn't
lecherous but she felt something wrong in how he talks
about her. Just as upsetting were the dreams and bad
feelings that she expressed to her best friend Cody. Then
Cody is found hanged, everyone saying it was suicide but
Libby couldn't believe it.
After receiving a summons from the elders, that could mean
nothing more than going over the plans Libby had for
enlarging her bakery "Libby's Loaves" or asking them to
give up the house that they shared to someone who needed a
larger home, but Libby has a bad feeling just holding the
letter. The sisters implement a plan to sneak away but
Ray has men watching with orders to stop them. Out of
nowhere a horse appears and they manage to escape with his
help. Later Libby realizes that this horse is not exactly a
normal horse, it's a unicorn and also a man named Josh
Mustang.
He's a shifter in search of his mate and the last thing he
needs is to get involved with these two and their troubles.
He's in "rut" and if he can't find his virgin mate he will
live in his four legged form forever. Finding Libby not a
virgin leaves him confused because the "rut" calms with her
around. When Libby finds out that Josh is in jeopardy she
insists that he go find his mate that Maggie and she would
be fine, but he just can't seem to leave. As they meet
varied obstacles toward safety the attraction only grows
stronger.
Anna Leonard has written a different kind of shifter book.
I found the book so easy to read, with a flow that wouldn't
let you put it down. SHIFTER'S DESTINY is alive with
adventure, the fight for survival, learning acceptance and
how to love. All things you expect in a paranormal book and
more.
Nothing can stop a shape-shifter from fulfilling his legacy...except a beguiling yet forbidden young woman on a quest to save her sister. There are some boundaries mustangs must never cross-even for true love. Libby wasn't looking for anything but escape when she took her little sister and fled the malevolent cult they once called family. When a horse appears to carry them from danger, she sees only a ride-and not the horn set in its forehead. Josh knows he wants Libby from the moment their eyes meet. Trouble is, his heritage demands that he claim a virgin bride-or else suffer dark consequences. But he can't turn away from a female in need, either. With "The Community" closing in, the unicorn-shifter will have to summon all of his strength to resist Libby's allure and protect the sisters from harm. He may be no knight in shining armor, but he's got the hooves to back up his claim.
