"an exciting fantasy romance"
Arrane, King of the light magic Fae, sends Nakkole to the
human
realm to guard his son, Laird Gavin McCain. Gavin's mother
had run
from
the Fae realm when she was pregnant with Gavin. Because
Arrane and
Gavin's mother are soulmates, when they are together they
are
stronger,
but when they are separated, they weaken and die. Since
Gavin's mother
left and never told him about his Fae heritage, Gavin
doesn't know that
he is heir to the Fae throne. Because Queen Elphina,
Arrane's daughter
and Queen to the dark Fae, has found Gavin's location and
seeks his
demise, Arran sends Nikkole to protect his son and teach
him about his
powers and heritage. DESTINY'S WARRIOR is an exciting fantasy romance with
an
interesting cast of characters. Gavin has abandonment
issues, because
his mother has been unable to give him attention--she is
ill because of
the separation from Arran-- and he thought his father was
dead. Gavin
must put aside the hurt little boy inside and learn to
trust Nikkole.
Nikkole is torn between loyalty to her king and her growing
love for
Gavin. Arrane and his queen have a nice secondary romance,
and it was
enjoyable to see these two tortured characters have a
second chance at
love. Perhaps my favorite character is the ogre with the
heart of
gold,
who fights his own people because of his own innate
goodness. All in
all, DESTINY'S WARRIOR is an enjoyable fantasy romance,
which I
recommend.

A love more powerful than magic. Laird Gavin McCain, heir to the throne of fae, was raised as a human in order to preserve his life. Now, with his location discovered, Nakkole, a female guardian, is sent to protect him—and return him to the home he never knew… But Gavin was raised not to believe in such things, and Nakkole must come to his aid in disguise. Convincing him of his dormant faery powers should prove a challenging task—especially when the very air seems clouded by the undeniable attraction they feel for each other. And when an attempt on his life lands Gavin in a dream-like world, they discover their destinies entwined. While he must save the kingdom, she carries its future…
