Description

Following her award-winning debut, Kat Bastion returns to the Highland Legends series with the epic journey... Born of Mist and Legend.

Amid mythical lands, where Arthurian tales run blood-deep and castles vanish into fabled mist, a stormy sky breaks open with deafening thunder on a dying mother’s whispered enchantment... and her newborn’s die is cast. Eighteen summers later, magick sparks to life within the charmed child’s veins, and the fates resume their course.

Rise of a fallen angel...

Rebirth of a Highland goddess...

Revenge of a legendary wizard, craving their power.

Dark angel, outcast of his kind—lone angelic guardian of time itself—Skorpius receives a bewildering dual directive. Protect a human female. And end her.

Once bright and innocent, sister to the laird of the mysterious Clan Brodie, Brigid awakens to incredible magick within her. And the ability to sense a foreign energy: Another stalks her, a beast hunting its prey.

On a quest to protect her clan and save humankind, Brigid forges beyond the only home she’s ever known into the wilds of Scotland. Her destiny—to battle an ancient lurking menace—beckons her. She braves her task with fierce determination, even though she’s a mere novice among masters.

Upholding his vow to protect time against any threat, Skorpius is duty-bound to guard the female, with or without her consent. For he alone presides as judge and executioner.

As unprecedented danger to the fabric of time looms, the two beleaguered souls walk a tightrope between cure and cause. Yet while the destiny of every realm hangs in the balance, they are all that stand between salvation and destruction.

But against insurmountable odds...will they both survive?

Born of Mist and Legend is a stunningly epic journey told through such vivid detail and exquisite emotion. I was left in awe as I walked the steps of this beautifully multi-layered and wonderfully complex story. If that isn't enough, we are then gifted with brilliant characters that are sure to delight and entertain as feel the the heat and conflict between sizzle literally off the pages. Combining the awe-inspiring story and its incredible characters, a countdown begins that will lead us to an indescribably breathtaking ending that you will never see coming!

Skorpius has a duty to time that he must take action in order to fulfill. There is no half way for him as the mandate he follows is clear and binding. He must follow the path set before him and nothing can sway his steps. Brigid knows in the core of her being that she is being called to a purpose that is so much more then who she is. She can't stop it and she can't fight it, so she finally gives in and follows her destined course. Only the details of the journey are not what she had in mind, and before she can take control of any part of her destiny she must face herself and what her future holds. Can she find the heart and the courage to take up her birthright and fulfill her destiny, or will choose to live a half life always wondering and wanting what she can no longer have? In the end, will the choice be truly hers, or will it be taken from her by the dark evil who stalks her and covets her newly found power?

Watching Brigid spread her wings and discover her true purpose stole the very breath from my lungs. I would have never imagined what all her path entailed, and I was left in awe. Having Skorpious to watch over her was a wonderful choice because he had so much to teach her even as she learned everything on her own. The most important thing she found was that each person is so much more then anyone could ever imagine. We all have value beyond measure, and even when we make mistakes we should be treasured and loved. For in making those mistakes is how we learn to get back on our feet and keep moving forward. They give us strength and courage to try again and make better decisions next time. We are transformed by the tender parts of our heart that are bruised by pain and suffering. They make us aware of the unmatched treasures that walk around us each and every day. Imperfection allows us the opportunity to see and appreciate the true depth of our character and those around us.

Kate Bastion is a breathtaking author who captured my heart with little effort. She has taken my imagination and dreams to a higher playing field, and I am truly in awe of her talents! Her words transported me to a stunning world full of intriguing and relatable characters who never failed to touch my heart at every turn. I am anxious to revisit her fabulous world once again, and I encourage you to join me!

When i pick up a bastion book I just know I need to have no reservations going in becuase I never know what I will expect. I like that this book is written in a way that a standalone could be but I think people would enjoy it even more if they started at the begining I think the connection to the main characters would make more sense and it wouldnt feel quite so aggressive as the story just takes right off from the begining. This is a fantasy book which is not my normal go to which could be why I was not in love with the story but I did enjoy it!
