The Sword

Kelly Doley is rescued from her burning house and is whisked away to another universe by the young mage Morgannen. When she awakens she finds herself alone with eight powerful and exiled mage brothers on a lonely island. From the beginning her relationship with Saber, the oldest brother is more like one between cats and dogs. They fight every moment, but soon the sparks between them change into something completely different. Unfortunately Saber is cursed that the woman he loves will bring him disaster. Will Kelly find a way to persuade him that it is worth it to love someone?

THE SWORD is one of the best romantic fantasy novels that this reviewer has ever read. The eight brothers are truly magical, because they will completely bewitch you and once you have started with this book you won’t be able to put it down.

Ms. Johnson created a set of characters that is absolutely fascinating. Each of the brothers has his own magical talent and is completely different in character. You will fall in love them all. They are very strong characters, typical Alphas, but Kelly will show them that she isn’t a meek woman who says yes and amen to everything. Especially Saber as well as his younger brother Dominor has to live with her ire.

THE SWORD is a real keeper and this reviewer highly recommends keeping your eyes open for the other books by this talented author. This novel is a must read for readers who love to get drawn into a wonderful fantasy tale.
