The time has come.
The Dark Mage, Lord Morgorth, and Aishe of the Ravena Tribe, are to become bondmates.
Morgorth is equal parts nervous and excited. He wants to unite with Aishe in the sacred dialen ceremony, to proclaim their devotion to the world, to show everyone that Aishe is his equal and deserving of respect. After all they’ve survived together, why shouldn’t they make the cosmic promise before friends and family? But duty must often come before pleasure. When Morgorth’s estranged mentor, Master Ulezander, comes to him with a time-sensitive mission involving a major stone of power, Morgorth has little choice but to acquiesce.
Aishe knows his mate struggles with the revelation of his true destiny, after a lifetime of defining himself as the future Destroyer of Karishian. All he can do is reassure Morgorth that being the Savior is a far better fate for both of them. But as Morgorth and Aishe leap through worlds and dimensions in pursuit of a stone of power, more pieces to the puzzle of Morgorth’s destiny are revealed. And they form an image of sacrifice and tragedy.
The dark cloud of an ancient enemy looms ever closer, and the path to becoming the Savior might prove more monstrous than that of the Destroyer.

Morgorth the Dark Mage who once relished his reputation as the Destroyer now finds himself preparing for his bonding ceremony with Aishe of the Ravena Tribe. Morgorth has now learned that he is not the Destroyer but the Savior and he was lied to by everyone in his life. To succeed as the Savior, he must find all the stones of power especially the Sapphire one of the powerful stones. His mentor Ulezander once the man he considered like a father lied by omission and Morgorth is not willing to forgive him and has banned him from his bonding ceremony.
Morgorth has agreed to the ceremony following Aishe’s customs, customs not in his wheelhouse. He has to learn three dances and has two left feet. He has to sew a bonding tunic for Aishe and then his vows must be put into song, a song he has to sing out loud to everyone in attendance, and he is not allowed to use magic to assist him. Morgorth will go through anything to make his bond mate happy even to the point of embarrassing himself, now that is true love.
There is only one thing that can interfere with the ceremony and that is the need for Morgorth and Aishe to go immediately to search and retrieve the Sapphire stone. There is no way of knowing what going after the Sapphire can involve since it is one of the major stones and powerful. Morgorth must acquire all the stones in order to fulfill his role as Savior and help the Mother destroy their enemy the
Formoryans. The battle coming could mean the death of Morgorth or Aishe but it is a battle that has to be fought.
As expected, getting their hands on the Sapphire proves difficult and sends them through various dimensions and time periods. The Sapphire is protected in a box that Morgorth has to figure out how to open, easier said than done. While trying to finally get the Sapphire Morgorth learns more about his bloodline and it is just another disappoint among so many others, but it is something he has to deal with.
This is a series that must be read in order and once you finish book one you will have seven more to go, lucky you. This is a series that has everything good, evil, amazing characters and magic. It is a series that follows Morgorth and Aishe as they journey to find stones and each other.
