  <default_description>The first novel of the Sons of Destiny...a romantic tale of magic, superstition, and a love that transcends dimensions. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;i&gt;Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years apart to the day-they fulfill the Curse of Eight Prophecy. To avoid tempting their destiny, the brothers are exiled to Nightfall Island, a land where women are strictly forbidden. But, when the youngest of the mage-brothers rescues a woman from another universe, their world is altered forever.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Kelly Doyle had wanted to get away from the world. Threatened, attacked, and accused of witchcraft, Kelly had enough of her narrow-minded small town. And now she has somehow landed in another, magical dimension-the only woman in a realm inhabited by eight men who are desperately in need of a woman's touch.</default_description>
