Shattered Legacy is first off, a wonderful dark fantasy and by the authors' own words this is not a happy ever after story but rather the background with all the pain, sacrifice and tragedy required to fulfill a prophesy to defeat a great evil and hopefully garner future happiness for the Shadow Warriors and their courageous women. This is a powerful, heartrending, erotic novel.

The Shadow Warriors were created by the Guardians to fight an evil of their own kind, an unnatural demon intent on taking over our world. These Shadow Warriors were each given individual talents as well as virtual immortality, but the price was great, and the loneliness extreme.

Shattered Legacy follows four warriors prophesized by the Goddess Mother Earth to be the ones with whom will find aid and hopefully, their soul mates among the four daughters, of Galen, a great wizard. Galen's four daughters, Chantel, Mistress of the Earth Crystal , Ariel, Mistress of the Wind, Caitlin, Mistress of the Water and Arriane, Mistress of the Air each possess a unique power that the Shadow Warriors will need to defeat the evil Jonar. Each Warrior and his women will need to overcome great personal trials to find and fulfill their destinies.

A young boy gasps his dying breath on a battlefield in 1040 AD, but delivers his message to Devlin, leader of the Shadow Warriors that Galen is alive and that the Shadow Warriors need to find him and seek his aid in defeating Jonar. Giving his word to the dying boy that the Warriors will seek out Galen, they set off to find the mysterious wizard long rumored to be dead.

When they arrive at Galen's castle fortress, Devlin is amazed to be greeted by the vision of the women from his very erotic dreams, and unbeknownst to each other, the remaining three warriors are also greeted by the women who have been part of their sensuous dreams.

Devlin is drawn immediately to the ethereal Chantel who is equally drawn to Devlin and their love blooms into a deep and passionate relationship, the kind legends are made of. The other three are not as fortunate and their very natures are part of what they will need to overcome to find their own happiness.

What neither the sisters, nor the Warriors know is that Mother Earth has visited Chantel and her prophesies are dire, there is so much she will be unable to share with either her sisters nor the warriors to ease either their mental or physical pains. There will be much that needs to be accomplished, much pain and much suffering in this life if their reincarnations are to be successful in defeating the growing evil of Jonar and his cronies and the couples are to have any hope of happiness.

The intense love and passion that Chantel and Devlin share will be tainted by betrayal, pain and sorrow. Joshua will need to find the ability to forgive perceived wrongs by his wife Arriane and she will need to find forgiveness for his brutality to her. Derek too, will need to find the strength to be truthful and trust his bride Caitlin, and hope she can forgive his transgressions against her. Shanar the fourth warrior, will need be able to convince his bride, Ariel, that he loves her regardless of the shameful secret she keeps hidden.

Add to the mix the presence of Antea, the daughter of Jonar's sworn enemy and a double for Chantel, though without her compassion and grace and you have the makings of an extreme storyline, filled with extreme passions, extreme betrayals, extreme suspense and perhaps a chance, just a chance, at eternal happiness. This is the gripping story of the Legend of the Shadow Warriors and their women, and a wonderful, heart wrenching start to the Shadow Warrior series.

Synopsis
The battle has been long and hard, the evil relentless, unending. And out of their hauntingly erotic dreams and into the lives of the battle-weary Shadow Warriors come four beautiful women - sisters, not only of the flesh, but of the soul and the Earth. Her mistresses - each possessed of a power and love to equal that of their warrior.

But consuming passion, undying love and gifts of mystical power come at immense cost, and Fate and Destiny demand their price. Only one, Chantel, Keeper of the Earth Crystal, knows the true torments that await them and the decision she makes, the legacy she chooses, will impact them all for centuries to come.

Deceit, treachery and dark forces propel the warriors and their wives into a vortex of events that will tear them asunder. Devlin, favored warrior of the gods, has found his heart and soul with Chantel. Time is running out, the growing evil he senses is coming closer. Evil that could shatter his life, and destroy that which he holds most dear - Chantel.

Note: Shattered Legacy is not a "Happily Ever After". Rather it is the beginning, the history, of what is to come.
