Lia Dàn – Stone of Destiny Revised Edition II
Her gods demand a sacrifice. Dark powers have joined. Yet time has no mercy.
Breanna Ban Morna has freed her Chief and escaped the Norse stronghold of Dun Garm, yet victory brings no peace. She could not slay her father, and the geas binding her to destroy him tightens with every passing day. Without the power of the Tuatha De Danann, she cannot defeat the enemy who forged her fate.
Hunted across Erin by the Norse Jarl who would either claim her—or kill her—Breanna drives toward an ancient force that governs time without thought or judgment: the Stone of Destiny. When its power awakens through magic forged by the Dark Goddess, it can rewrite history according to the vision held by Erin’s Hero.
Claimed by Ćroí Dàn—the Heart of Destiny, blind and deaf to the mortal world without her Hero—Breanna becomes the living conduit through which gods and time begin to align. Guided by druids, haunted by visions, and shadowed by divine hands, she learns that the Blades of Destiny bind the Stone to the Heart, allowing her to cast a new vision across the land.
But to wield such power is to invite erasure. To reshape history so the Norse never claim Erin would mean a future in which Breanna herself never existed—and leave the goddess cast into a gem without sight or sound. As enemies close in and her gods tighten their hold, Breanna must choose:
Will she sacrifice her own existence to save her people?
Or allow time to continue its merciless course?
