출판사 설명
In this sequel to Doon, Kenna Reid has made a horrible mistake—choosing to follow her dreams of Broadway instead of staying in the enchanted land of Doon. But when Duncan, prince of Doon, appears with an urgent message from Veronica, MacKenna is given a second chance at Doon and true love. With an evil magic lurking across Doon, and MacKenna’s destiny entwined with the cure, can she make peace with her decisions, or will she succumb them.
One year after the events that took MacKenna and her best friend Veronica to the magical land of Doon, Kenna is rethinking her decision to walk away from her friend, Doon, and the highland prince of her dreams - Duncan. To make everything worse, she's received her Calling—proof she and Duncan are each other's one true love— especially when visions of the very alluring Doonish prince appear right before she goes on stage. When Duncan appears and tells Kenna that Doon needs her, that Veronica needs her, she doesn't hesitate at second chances.
Not all is right in Doon, though Jamie and Veronica have blossomed into a full romance, Kenna can’t help but sense that Duncan is yet to forgive her for breaking his heart and abandoning him to pursue her Broadway dreams. As they investigate the dark magic plaguing Doon from the inside, they discover that the witch has left her mark, and not all wounds heal. MacKenna’s fate and destiny are entwined with defeating the dark magic, but can she learn to forgive herself and release Doon from this plague? And even if she can defeat the evil, her happily ever after may still be in peril.

Destiny for Doonians
If you remember where DOON left off, Vee’s got her happily ever after and Kenna’s gone off to her internship in Chicago…
…except Vee’s ending isn’t so happy after all. (I love how realistic this is.) Not only aren’t Vee and Jamie the perfect couple, but Vee’s also having problems with the citizens of Doon, some of whom don’t accept her—an outsider—as their queen.
…except Kenna’s stuck in Chicago while her Calling is in Doon. Kenna’s pretty sure she’s ruined both her life and Duncan’s by abandoning him on the bridge. And if she had any doubt, when Duncan shows up in Chicago, he’s distant and cold. He’s only come for her because Vee needs her help in Doon. He has to wear the other ring for the magic to open the way back to Doon, where the witch’s black petunias are spreading and people are disappearing.
While I love the plot (and all the subplots!) of this second Doon book, what I love even more is all the details that Carey and Lorie incorporated throughout. For starters, Kenna calls Doon’s new witch problem zombie fungus, which made me laugh the first time I read it and smile pretty much every time after that. Then there’s the fact that Kenna brings a Wicked umbrella with her to Doon, a huge, hilarious irony considering Doon’s citizens assumed she was in league with the witch the first time she was there. Also, Vee uses references and analogies to various books I’ve read (what girl doesn’t love Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice?) and dances to music I love (Justin Timberlake, anyone?). And…well, I could just keep going.
The point is, I love DESTINED FOR DOON as much as I love DOON. As soon as I finished the second book, I wanted to read the third.
