Ćroí Dàn: Heart of Destiny

Destiny Cycle

De: James Raquepau

Narrado por: Erica Hazelton

She has lived as a warrior. Now, she must rise as a goddess.

With fragmented memories of her former life as Breanna Ban Morna—a fierce Gaelic-Norse warrior—Erin’s Hero awakens to a new fate. To discover what she has become, she must seek the wisdom of the All-Father, Dagda himself, who is now her father in the new timeline.

Having wielded the magic of the Triple Dàns, Breanna is no longer just a mortal champion. To fulfill her destiny, she must walk Erin’s Cycle of Time and be forged into the Tuatha Goddess of Time—a being with the power to shape history itself.

Only with this transformation can she and her Warriors of Destiny stand against the looming threats: the might of Roman conquest in the past, the rise of British dynasties, and a new religion sweeping the mainland while destroying the Celtic Tribes who live there.

To save her people, Breanna must embrace her true power—and create a future where the Gaels and Celts do not fall—but rise!

A warrior reborn. A goddess rising. Breanna Ban Morna must walk the Cycle of Time to save her Gaels from Rome, rising kings, and a new faith bent on conquest.

"Heart of Destiny" takes a historical approach!

Blinked into a reset, readers return to a changed Breanna. Physically, Breanna now sports flowing red hair with a white streak, but mentally, there are gaps in how she has arrived here, how she obtained the skills she now possesses, and where her rich cloaks, armor, weapons, and exceptional control of the void stem from. With thoughts of half-bloods and the refusal to settle down, Breanna’s past remains blurry under the surface.

Entering this third installment with a fresh start, Breanna is now fighting Eoin with her much-improved and exquisite blade skills. Defined by her red hair, streaked with white, we enter Breanna’s world again as she turns to her mother’s side just in time to see her off on her deathbed. Though this time, the Dreadlord’s seed does not maul Breanna’s lineage. Breanna’s band, rather than the Red Branch Champions, feels like an upside-down world, with her past becoming the before-time, and her new reality something much more. As the confusion swirls, the All-Father, Dagda, aids in making Breanna whole, restoring her memories as she serves as Erin’s Hero, once more one with the land.

Eating that apple forever changed Breanna’s life in “Stone of Destiny,” for better or worse, she has wielded the power of the Triple Dàns and now must carry that burden of responsibility that has been cast upon her, being one of the Tuatha De Danann royalty, still claimed by the Heart of Destiny as Erin’s Hero, and now the Goddess of Time. The veil now placed over Erin in her transition is contingent on the beating heart of Breanna Ban Morna, and she’s determined to protect it.

“Heart of Destiny” takes a historical approach as Breanna embraces the Stone of Destiny’s magical bridge through time. Allowing Breanna not just to see multiple timelines and outcomes, but to take her growing band of Warriors of Destiny into these times as well. She begins to understand her purpose – pulling followers and supporters together to protect her land from siege, starting with the Roman general, Julius Ceasar, who would open the door to One God followers that threaten to cast out Gaelic and Celtic gods. With leaders casting themselves as deities and notions of various King ruling through their lineage for eons, Breanna is determined to ensure that dominating men do not rule to the exclusion of women!

Throughout “Heart of Destiny,” author James Raquepau begins to reveal to readers the world’s history as men wrote it. Can Breanna’s changing of the timeline change world history? Paired with the Tuatha Dé Danann, Breanna takes on her most challenging quest yet, as this third installment only further endears readers to Breanna’s cause for women everywhere.

Shouldering the burden and responsibility of protecting others while ensuring we are not belittled by men seeking power, Raquepau weaves in the realities of witch trials, invasions by men, and the righteousness of One God followers into his fantastical realms on the Emerald Isle. Setting readers up for an epic fourth book, Breanna’s Warriors of Destiny begin taking shape.
