‘Went to Hell … check. Saved my brother’s mate … check. Saved a Guardsman we all thought was dead … unplanned, but hell yeah on the check. So now what? Oh yeah, lay here and be bored to death. HA! I mean, that’s unless the hellhound poison coursing through my veins doesn’t kill me first. Good times. Good times.’ If you’ve been following the series, then you know Rory is the youngest of the O’Rourke boys; a great guardsman and fighter but also the practical joker who rarely takes things seriously. Until he winds up in a coma from the poison of a hellhound.
Claire is the phoenix matriarch. She’s also Rory’s fated mate. There’s just one problem. She’s trying to get to her mate and a Griffin has decided he wants Claire and her powerful abilities. Julia Mills has once again shown how fate plays a HUGE role in the lives of these Guardians and their lives. Rory and Claire’s tale is one that will capture you heart and keep you in the circle with the rest of their friends and family. I just love this series.
Love Rory and Claire’s story!! So excited about all the new characters along with the old and how they all mesh together! Claire and Rory’s story is so unique, along with the way they find each other. Can’t wait to keep reading to see all that happens in this series!!
OMG I absolutely loved this story, there is so much happening and Rory really cops a lot of well-deserved hassle. Rory is the younger brother of Rian and Royce and has given them and his brethren so much loving hassle/crap about their sappiness over their mates, he is so full of life and laughter. He swears he is staying a confirmed bachelor.
Then on their last mission into Hell to save his brothers mate Audrey, he is bitten by a Hell Hound and is slowly dying from the bites toxins.
Nothing anyone can do is helping him, his dragon is comatose and Rory prepares himself to die, except there is one person who can save him.
Rory is able to hear everything being said and realises the woman coming to save him could be his mate and after visions of her realises Claire is his mate and he gets frantic when he hears she has been taken. Luckily someone realises they have to reverse treat him and it works, saving his life. Read the story you will understand what I mean.
Claire is the matriarchal leader of the Clan of the Sun and a very strong shifter in her own right. I am not telling you what she is but boy, big surprise. Along with Claire comes her family and oh my goodness, what wonderful new shifters have come into this series.
A prophecy surrounds Claire, the choice between light and dark mates, Claire of course knows there is only one direction she is going to choose, especially after having visions of Rory and how good he is. Claire has known Rory is her mate for a while but believes in letting fate do her thing and in giving Rory time to choose to come find her, but when she knows Rory is in danger she gets on her motorbike and rides to save him.
On her way to heal him she never makes it to the lair as planned because the dark griffin who plans to be her mate, kidnaps her. Boy, talk about Mommy issues.
I absolutely love all of these characters. Claire is a very interesting character, nothing wallflower about her, she is a badass and another perfect woman to join this crazy group. I wasn’t expecting her or her family to be the type of shifters they are and cannot wait to see more of all of them, hopefully as mates to some of the Dragon Guards still single.
Claire and Rory are a perfect couple and once again fate has chosen well.
Rory was bit by a hellhound on the last mission and his body is shutting down. Claire has known of her mate for several years, she’s checked in on him from time to time, now she’s flying towards him her only thought to save him. Souls bound by fate, these two will fight to save one another more than once. You soar right along with them as the story flies by.
