Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years apart to the day-they fulfill the Curse of Eight Prophecy. To avoid tempting their destiny, the brothers are exiled to Nightfall Island, where women are forbidden. When a childhood friend seeks refuge among the brothers, it triggers a confrontation with their mysterious enemy. Alys arrives desperate and afraid, but welcomed by Wolfer, the second-born brother who harbors deep feelings for Alys. But she harbors a secret: her own uncle is tormenting the exiled brothers, and seeks to kill them to secure their ancestral inheritance for himself. Confessing her uncle's plan to the brothers puts them at even greater risk, for their resistance against the evil mage has stirred his wrath. Alys fears her uncle is determined this time to exterminate the brothers once and for all- destroying the star-crossed lovers as well. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Would be five stars if the Kelly character didn't keep showing upI really want to love these books. I keep trying to love them. The plot and the setup are brilliant. The idea is unique.

There were no new innovative magic arenas and from his actions, Wolfer comes off as almost stupid. His jealousy of the youngest brother is overdone, he keeps growling at everything and about 75% of the story was sex which ...

A search through the Australian book stores disappointed me but Amazon saved my soul. This book is awesome - can't wait to continue to read the series - Jean Johnson is a great fantasy novel writer - will continue to buy her works. Rating: - The Sons of Destiny, Book 2Enjoyed this book immensely. Author has great imagination, and I enjoyed a change from the usual medieval romances. I have always been interested in science fiction, so this book really appealed to me. Would recommend this book very highly and look forward to reading the other books in the series. Rating:  - Pretty goodFun, interesting series with likable characters (or at least likable brothers). The Sons of Destiny live in a magic dominate world and when a seer makes a prediction about eight brothers (four sets of twins) that will bring about disaster, the people of their world decide to exile them to their own island alone. Since the prediction seems to be largely based on the fact that they will meet their true loves, the council believes if the keep them exiled and not allowed any women near them they they can ...
