The one thing you can expect from anything written by author Donna Grant is to expect the unexpected and BLOOD SKYE is just that and more.
BLOOD SKYE takes readers back to Ms. Grant’s Skye Druid world and digs even deeper into the world of magic and betrayal. Carlyle is worried about his father in London, as the London Druids have in the past rejected any who have gone to Skye Isle.
For Carlyle, his world is now filled with the family he found with the Knights, but he can’t help but be concerned for his father. The secret to finding him might be getting his hands on Devon. Once he does he is in for several surprises. Not the least of them was the secret of Devon.
Devon or as we learn her name is really Song, was shaped by the Druids as a weapon. She thought she was doing this to protect her sister. But just as Carlyle finds out some bitter truths, so does she. It is more than enough to send the young woman to the side of the Skye Druids. The adventure to get to that point is the twists and turns that Ms. Grant does so well.
The romance between Carlyle and Song is a mixture of sweet and steamy, especially after their mutual truths come to light. Nothing like being lied to from all sides to bring a couple together.
As this is the sixth book in the series there are many characters that have built up Skye Druids series and a number of them are found in BLOOD SKYE. There are a number of surprises along the way – about Devon/Song’s family, Carlyle’s family and more information about what is going on with the Ancients and the enemies of the Skye Druids.
BLOOD SKYE is a solid mixture of paranormal, magic, romance, danger and drama. It is one of those books that holds you even when you finish it. It stays in your mind, replaying all the scenes over again as you wait impatiently for another offering from this world.
In my world, magic and danger go hand-in-hand. It has from my earliest memory. Magic was currency, and if you have it, you have power. I was shaped by some of the most influential Druids into a lethal weapon. Their weapon.
Until the night they betray me - and I wind up in the hands of my enemy.
He’s nothing but a job for me. To him, I’m the key to finding his father. Too bad I know nothing.
But right now, he’s the only thing keeping me alive, so I’ll do whatever it takes. Yet, if we’re going to survive, it means doing it together.
I’ve never allowed myself to care, to feel. To hope. He shows me a world that was always just out of reach, one I was never meant to be a part of - and a love that burns bright enough to scorch the earth.
Together, we will bring an empire to its knees.
Return to Scotland and New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant’s Skye Druids, where magic and danger intertwine and a tale of passion, revelations, and new beginnings unfolds.
