Swept me off my feet and delighted again as award winning best selling author Terri Brisbin totally had me hooked and mesmerized from start to finish in this unique, enthralling ,romantic, paranormal fantasy that I lost one night of sleep reading this enchanting book. Another astonishing, surprising , emotional and and captivating read in Terri Brisbin's third installment of her spectacular The Stone Circles series a historical paranormal fantasy with Greek mythology with a twist that is absolutely brilliant. So many twists and turns your head will spin but in a marvellous way, as readers won't be able to put this fast paced exhilarating book down! Readers of Rising Fire and Raging Sea, books one and two, of The Stone Circles series will be thrilled to be reunited with Will, Brienne, Soren and Ran plus all Priests and Priestess and seer Aislinn. I am not stranger to Miss Brisbin's novel's and writing , but I must say this might be her best one yet! I have been reading her books for close to two decades as her talent just seems to grow and pour off the pages, with a story and characters that really come life that I really felt emotionally invested reading Blazing Earth, as I think anyone will. Definitely one of my favorite reads for 2016 and one readers don't want to miss!

They also knew she had to be in a seal proof prison forever as she cannot be truly destroyed being a Goddess, so they decided to instill their powers in their human bloodlines, so someone could keep watch forever knowing the humans were now safe and the Gods could leave this world. These watchers per says were called Warriors of Destiny, a race of human men and women who could keep the evil away and the gods we're confident they would never need to do more then watch and never ever need rise against evil....or so they thought?
