As unlikely as it seems, the girl perceived to be the weakest in the land, Lana, bears the birthmark that indentifies her as one able to contain the sword spirit, Valor. When the current bearer's life is endangered, the Water Guardian, Keegan, a Fey man who finds mortals more interesting than his own kind, is summoned to rescue the current bearer and to take Lana with him in case Valor needs a new home.

As the two journey, they begin to fall in love, but it is a romance that is twice over forbidden; he cannot mate with a mortal, which he believes Lana to be, and she must be pure for Valor to accept her. Love denied only grows in intensity, and the consequences could be the undoing of more than two hearts.

Impossible romances, especially those with an inherent sacrifice involved, hold an undeniable appeal, even though they bring tears to your eyes. Lana and Keegan's story is such a tale. If you enjoyed Predestined, this one is even better.
