Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years apart to the daythey 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 powerone that could bring them together or annihilate their world forever.
Rydan lives for the night. Seldom seen during the day, his brothers usually leave Rydan alone. He craves the silence. What his brothers do not know is the emotional affliction he carries. When someone feels emotions, Rydan feels them too. Sometimes they pound at him and his "beast" roars in anguish.
When he violates his destined bride, Rora, he feels disgusted and shamed. But being near her silences his beast, and he craves the presence of another, one that doesn't stir up his beast. Rora enjoys being with Rydan. Before long, the two are inseparable. But Rydan is the Guardian of the Fountain, and Rora possesses her own mystical magics. Can they trust one another completely to save their world without destroying it?
This sixth in the series was highly anticipated. A wonderful thing about this series is that even though its a certain characters story, the others still play a role. You don't see them fading into the woodwork. As the Island of Nightfall gets ready to name their deity, we are left with anticipation for the next story of the seventh brother. I love this series!

This was the most enjoyable book. And who doesn't love a brooding, conflicted, and yet honorable and handsome man? This Sons of Destiny series is very refreshing and different.
So far I have liked this book the best out fo the story line. This Son of Destiny was the most interesting and up until this book the least developed of the characters.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole series: Sons of Destiny. Jean Johnson exhibits her creativity and talent with this set of books.
This particular book was one I liked best. I liked getting to know Rydan and why he was so mysterious and nocturnal. I was afraid he'd be vampiric, but no.
I'll be sorry when I've finished the Mage and have to say goodbye to the characters in the series.

This love story of Rydan And Rora just goes to prove that there is one person for each of us to love. One that completes us. I really am enjoying this series.
