Game of Thrones meets The Princess Bride in this hilarious new series, combining romance and high fantasy, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks. Raised in isolation on the magic-shrouded Isle of the Moon, five girls became five sisters. Now women, they are ready to claim their places in the world—and perhaps change it forever . . . FLAME AND FORTUNE Sorcha knew the mission was dangerous. Leaving the safe grounds of her brother’s kingdom and parlaying with the elves across their border . . . well, treachery seemed at least as likely as true peace. But to support her sister, Sorcha would brave far more than the underhanded ways of the elves. Or so she thought, before she was taken hostage. Of course, her captors didn’t count on her particular abilities—or on the help of the Woodsman, the mysterious thief who made his home in the forest. He saw the battle from the trees, saw the soldier attacking against incredible odds to save a comrade—and then saw the valiant fighter revealed as Princess Sorcha of Norveshka. He can’t tell if he wants to kidnap her or kiss her. But despite Sorcha’s stubbornness, his inconvenient honor, and a rebellion on the cusp of full war, something burns between them that neither can let go . . . “Sparks' crafting of distinct kingdoms and fantasy races is the strongest part of the series…An adventurous fantasy romp.” —Kirkus Reviews “Satisfying chemistry, a playful sense of adventure, and the threat of more danger to come keep the pages turning. Readers will revel in this fun, fast-paced fantasy romance.” —Publishers Weekly

What readers are saying about Magic Destiny on other retailers: “A thoroughly ponderous adventure with immortals and witches. You will enjoy it!” “OMG, I love new takes on Celtic mythology.” “I love how the paranormal, folklore and romance is so intertwined that it felt natural and real...” “If you like magic, hot guys and a down to earth type female lead, this one is for you. Loved it.” “I am a fan of paranormal RH and this did not disappoint.” “Story about witches, guardians, and what it takes to save the world from immense evil. Steamy sex and amazing connected characters. Hard to put down. Loved it.” **Book one in a continuing five-book series. A reverse harem, why choose romance. It’s a slow burn, fated mate story where the heroine connects with a different man in each book. She’s unsure, pushy and dangerous, and could be exactly who the moody heroes are looking for. **
