Two witches. Two souls that are inescapably intertwined. What will they do when they discover their destiny?Atherton BlackwoodsOnce upon a time, I was the heir to my family’s seat on the High Council of Witches. After one horrific night, the Council was no more and all the families went into hiding. The likelihood I would ever find my mo shíorghrá, my soul mate, was gone. But by fate or luck, … was gone. But by fate or luck, I’ve finally found my other half. Tobias Wyvern was destined to be mine, but we’re discovering that’s not all destiny has in store for us. I need to find out if our future will be our own, or if it will be determined by a prophecy that was written before either of us were born. I’ll do whatever I have to do, go wherever I have to go to find a way for us to be together.
Tobias Wyvern
I invited my next door neighbor, Arthur, to a family dinner to get them off my back, but what I’m finding out is that my whole life has been a lie. I was always told we were the only witches left in the world, but that’s because my family was too frightened to tell me the truth. They signed a marriage contract when I was a child, but had no intention of following through. The Wyverns and the Blackwoods would never be united if they could prevent it. When all hell broke loose, they were able to disappear. Now fate has brought Atherton Blackwoods into my life, and we come to realize we’re made to be together. But it’s not that simple. By coming together, we’ll set into motion a destiny neither one of us could ever have predicted. Are we willing to put our lives on the line to break the cycle of destruction ?
Discovering Destiny is a 37k word story featuring an adorably awkward witch who can talk to plants, a protective witch who can cause lightening strikes at awkward times, questionable art, strange dreams, a prophesy (there’s always a prophecy, right) and cat and magpie familiars who can’t seem to shut up or get along.

Tobias, Toby has always been told that his family is the last of the witches. Toby doesn’t know much at all about magick, except how to take care of his plants.
This was a pretty fast paced book. It’s interesting with clues that need to be gathered. This book left off with a couple of intriguing characters that must have a great story! The only thing that I’m kicking myself over, is that the series isn’t complete yet.
Tobias and Atherton were both wonderful characters they had an amazing connection. Their familiars were hilarious but I feel that the MC’s were lost most some of that time in this story and it was given to their familiars.
This story was a fun and cute read about witches, magic and romance. I definitely recommend reading this book!
After getting the prequel of this story in a giveaway I was waiting and waiting for the continuation of this magical story, so when I received it as an ARC I immediately started reading it. The story is essentially the same that I’d already read in the prequel but somehow it was better. Atherton and Tobias as a couple had amazing chemistry; the plot is interesting and opened the doors for a completely new magical world with intrigue, mysteries and even a prophecy (because… “there’s always a prophecy involved in magic, isn’t there?”). Wonderful start of a new series!! I can’t wait for book 2!
Witches, magick, destiny, oh my!
This book has it all and more. Atherton and Tobias are incredible and a dream come true. I adore them to pieces and they made me swoon. It doesn’t hurt that they’re hot, hot, hot either. Lucy and Chester, however, may have stolen the show. They’re a riot and make me wish my fur babies could talk. Although I don’t want to risk a cat house *snort*. I also plan to work banana pudding into future conversations.
Gotta say I did not like Suzanne or Todd but that just shows how much he needs Atherton in his life. Curiouser and curiouser, this book tickled, intrigued and delighted me. The ending especially blew me away. A truly fantastical, magical and bewitching tale that I fell in love with. Your destiny awaits in these pages.
Magickal story. This book is fun, entertaining and full of magic. I love the story of Tobias and Ath. Their beginnings, when they find each other and when they find their destiny. But it is only one part of their journey. The characters are interesting, sweet, loving, sexy but quite determined and powerful. The whole world building is awesome. I can’t wait for the next installment.
I loved this romance between Atherton and Tobias! While I was a bit confused in the beginning and wondering how we jumped from meeting to talking to familiars without introductions, the story eventually rolled out with more detail and backfill along the way. I love the adventure this series is promising and can’t wait to meet the other characters to help this mission!
