Publisher Description
A vengeful goddess hunts for three jewels: fallen stars that will give her endless power. To save the world, six friends have joined forces to stop her. Now, on the wild and beautiful coast of County Clare, their battle reaches its dramatic climax.
Doyle Mac Cleirich - soldier and reluctant immortal - has always vowed never to return home. But when his search for the final star leads him to Ireland, it becomes clear that fate has other plans.
Solitary by inclination, Doyle is also fighting his growing attraction to archaeologist Riley. His warrior spirit is drawn to the wild - and there's no one more familiar with the wild than Riley. As the six guardians face their final challenge, Riley and Doyle are prepared to risk their lives in battle. But without love to sustain them, the quest is doomed to failure...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dr. Riley Gwin, the shape-shifting heroine of this dramatic Guardians Trilogy finale, will remind readers of Eve Dallas (star of Roberts's In Death series, written as J.D. Robb), right down to her whiskey-colored eyes but Roberts is so prolific that she can't help but repeat herself now and then, and her devoted fans won't mind. Riley, a brilliant, almost preternaturally competent warrior and archaeologist, doesn't bother with delicate wooing. This makes her the perfect foil for Doyle McCleary, a tortured 300-year-old Irish immortal, as she wears down his unwillingness to make personal connections. Their slow-burning romance on Doyle's ancestral lands is overshadowed by the mythology that binds the Guardians as a clan, and the easy camaraderie at which Roberts excels. But Doyle and Riley's search for the hidden Island of Glass while being hunted by the weakened goddess of death maintains suspense, and a fellow Guardian's grandmother, brought in to help heal Riley after she is gravely injured, provides wonderful local color.
