Nerdvana. Where happy readers go to ponder their thoughts and daydream after reading a brilliant book. I'm stuck there at the moment. My heart is a happy one after reading this! My obsessions for the Celtic world, Mythology, Adventure and fantasy has been concocted into one epic story. Some friends on Goodreads and I have a list what we call, The Book Boyfriend list, and a couple of our lead characters have landed their names on this list, let's just say.Elizabeth and Tina have created a spectacular and original story that begins with a mysterious woman who arouses your curiosity as she speaks to her chosen men in hoods about holding the vessel ofHumanity's hope. Her men are chosen as the perfect guard and to prepare for a time when humanity will be threatened. She knows it's coming, but not so sure when that time will come.Every character plays such a vital part in this story. I really appreciate that, and there are no loose ends! Each character has a significance to thicken the plot and raise the thrill. You get a slap in the face, jaw dropping moment when a handsome warrior is approached by a mysterious man, and he's utterly pissed off by the one they call "Mother." The woman in the beginning of the story has what he wants. The vessel which was claimed to hold the, "hope of humanity" and will do anything it takes to get his hands on it. He is after all...Aries. The God of War.The handsome warrior, Lucian, is persuaded into a lifelong servitude to Aries, only to turn on his own men, his brothers.Man oh man,  I sympathized for him the entire time. He dreamt of the "What if's" always stuck in enslavement for a malevolent man, to never be treated with respect, always feeling undeserving.Then we are introduced a Templar, named Evan, who has been assigned to watch a Wiccan girl who unknowingly holds the key to gateway to "humanity's last hope". Danger is near and he is sent to warn her and protect her. Yeah, imagine how that conversation went down as he had to break it to her he's been creepin' up on her and she had noooo idea he even existed.Okay, you see that I am getting excited talking about this! But all in all, there are many heart wrenching, edge-of-your-seat gasping, and excitement. Thank you Tina and Elizabeth for allowing Krystle and I to have an early read! You've got yourself some fangirls now lol.-Sky, a Booknatic
