Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

New in the national bestselling Sons of Destiny series, hailed by Jayne Ann Krentz as "wildly entertaining."

Amara is wary of mages &&they chased her out of her homeland. Yet there is something about the mage Trevan of Nightfall that Amara can't resist. But can he be trusted with her most fiercely guarded secret? Courting such a pretty yet prickly outlander won't be easy, but Trevan is determined to try. She may be fierce, proud, and from a different culture, but after all, he is the Cat, and none but the most fascinating and challenging of women could satisfy him

Julie Anderson, June 3, 2008 (view all comments by Julie Anderson)
I'm a big fan of the Sons of Destiny series by Joan Johnson and her latest offering "The Cat", certainly hasn't changed my mind.

A quick summary. These novels are about 8 brothers (4 sets of twins) who are mages and were banished to a deserted island because of a prophesy. I really don't want to get into details, but every book recounts the tale of one of the brothers who finds his other half in a very unusual way. I picked up the first book "The Sword" and was hooked. "The Cat" is book #5 and I'm still hooked.

Trevan is a mage who, among other things, can change his shape. His verse of the prophesy reads "...Before you in the woods she flees, Catch her quick and hold her fast, The Cat will find his Home at last." And Trevan will need all of his skills and abilities to hold on to the woman for him.

These books have a fairly good heat index on the sex scale, magic, mystery, suspense, and some have magic battles to boot. One of the things I liked about this book was the lack of a life-and-death struggle. Most of the earlier books have at least one of these, and I was glad to see at least one of the brothers have a 'relatively' danger-free courtship. In each book, I learn something new about the mages, their world, and their abilities. I'll definately be waiting for the next books, "The Storm" in Sep08, and "The Flame" in Dec08.

And the hunks on the covers ain't too shabby either!!
