The mind of A.C. Warneke is very creative and very complex when it comes to her writing.  She excels at world building and character development, but sometimes the plots are so complex you feel like you need a score card to keep track of things. At times that's how I felt reading Stone Destiny, sometimes lost but found in the end.The main plot is the complex love story between Armand & Ferris, surrounded by multiple side stories involving the rest of the family members. There is something for everyone, a bit of mythology, a good dose of paranormal romance, time/dimension travel and erotic elements woven into the story in a complementary fashion.There are many characters including gargoyles, imps, dragons, and more.  The lead characters Ferris, Armand, & Marick, were well developed and very tightly interwoven into the plot line. I was never really able to decide what I thought of the relationship between Ferris & Jenna, I never felt the love a mother should have for her child, but I did see her constantly trying to reach out and attempt to have a better mother/daughter relationships. I also had a love/hate relationship with Marick/Apollo throughout the story, but in the end he did do the right thing for Ferris & Armand.  My very favorite standout character in the book was Fray, he was so devoted to Ferris, maybe I just have a thing for dragons, and when his mate Zilahr came I was overjoyed.This was not an easy read for me, but it was a fantastic story, one that I'm glad I didn't miss out on. I was lucky to have been a Beta reader, but have since purchased a copy so I can have it in my library. A solid 4 star read and a happy ending for all
