Product Description
From Library Journal
Sweeping across eons, the immortal protagonists in Shayne's latest romantic fantasy are united once again after 4000 years of separation when Nathan (Eannatum) sees a newspaper photograph and recognizes Nidaba, a girl he had known in Sumer so many years ago and has never forgotten. But their reunion does not unnoticed, and the Dark Ones. who have been waiting for centuries to exact their vengeance, are determined to succeed. Intense, mystical, and lyrical, this novel takes a pair of powerful witches torn apart by an ancient evil and brings them full circle back to love. One of romantic fantasy's most accomplished authors, Shayne (Infinity), also writes in a number of other romance subgenres; she lives in Plymouth, NY.

Romantic Times Review,
By
This review is from: Destiny (Paperback)
Nathan King has a home, business and two loyal friends, George and his housekeeper Sheila. His life changes once he sees a photo in the newspaper of a beautiful woman in the hospitalsemi-comatose and possibly suicidal. The photo is a blow to Nathans heart for she is the very image of his long-dead love, the Sumer High Priestess Nidaba.Four thousand years ago, Nathan was Eannatum, the King of Lagash. When Nathan goes to the hospital, he discovers the woman is indeed Nidaba. With the help of George and Sheila, Nathan spirits the tormented Nidaba away to safety. And not a moment too soon, for an ancient enemy is deliberately stalking them and is ready to strike when they least expect it. Maggie Shaynes books just keep getting better and better! DESTINY rounds out the Immortal High Witch trilogy by delivering a powerhouse book filled with passion, emotion and true dramatic flair.

Brilliant,

This review is from: Destiny (Paperback)
After reading Eternity & Infinity I couldn't wait for Nidaba's story. Nidaba is the mother of Nick from Infinity & Nathan, his father in Nick's previous life. We find out more about Nidaba in her very long life (4500yrs.) Nathan finds Nidaba, locked in a mental institution, kidnaps her & helps her recover. But there is someone from both their past who is looking for her as well, a dark witch or so it seems. After reading about the next book in the series, i'm not so sure. There is a taster in the back of this book. I do hope this series continues & Maggie brings back characters from the previous books, especially Nidaba & Nathan. I just love them all & don't want to see them end.

A Captivating Tale!,
By Sophie (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Destiny (Paperback)
"Destiny" by Maggie Shayne is the third instalment in a series that has enchanted me from the start. Following on the heels of the wonderful "Eternity" and "Infinity", "Destiny" is a novel readers won't soon forget. Breathtaking settings, fascinating history, and vivid, genuine characters combine to make for a thrilling and mesmerizing tale of a love that transcends time.Since his days as Prince Eannatum of Sumer, 2500 BC, Immortal High Witch Natum has lived under many different identities. For the last ten years, he has enjoyed his quiet, peaceful life as Nathan King, Boston antiques expert. But his life is suddenly turned upside down when he sees a fuzzy photograph in the paper of a woman who looks like his beloved Nidaba, who he lost over 4000 years ago. The article describes a miracle in which this woman fell from the roof of a building and survived. Natum immediately travels to the mental hospital where the mystery woman is being held, and comes face to face with the love of his life, Nidaba. Unfortunately, she has been drugged into a state of catatonia and seems unaware of Natum's presence. Natum begins to concoct a plan to get Nidaba out of the hospital secretly, so as not to alert the Dark Immortal Witches as to the whereabouts of this immensely powerful, but currently helpless, Immortal Light Witch. What he doesn't know is that the Dark Witch Puabi is already there, and is planning to take Nidaba's heart at her first opportunity. Only Natum stands in the way of Puabi's success, but he first must rekindle the love he and Nidaba shared, so they can stand united against their evil enemy and face their destiny together.
