Rhiann is entrusted with a very delicate task of protecting the Talisman that has been passed down through different generations in her family. The Moon is a precious magical item coveted by a powerful enemy, someone who will do anything to have it. Now she has to travel two thousand years through time into an age when magic is not practiced and when the item can be kept safe. This mission, though very challenging, gets riskier for her because someone seems to know about her plans and this isn’t the type of person she’d want to face, but there is more. A prince who’s fallen in love with her is caught between two worlds and her mission would be incomplete without rescuing him. Destiny's Future by Patricia C. Lee tells the story of a girl caught in the most challenging of dilemmas; a story of courage and fidelity to one’s mission.

I loved Patricia C. Lee’s writing and was drawn into the atmosphere of the story right from the start because of her poetic diction and the powerful prose. I loved her characters, especially Rhiann with her humble origins and noble mission. Following this character as she grows in courage, determined to fulfill her mission, is not just entertaining, but inspiring. The characters like Rayja, the prince, will remind readers of how far the power of love can drive the human heart. Destiny’s Future features great conflicts and these conflicts help to move the plot forward in very interesting ways. There is a lot to love about this last part of Daughters of the Crescent Moon series and I won’t hesitate to recommend it as an engaging and utterly entertaining read to fans of fantasy. A well-crafted story with compelling characters.

Destiny's Future by Patricia C. Lee is the kind of work that will appeal to readers who love stories involving time travel and magic, a beautiful conclusion to the captivating Daughters of the Crescent Moon series. The main character, Rhiann, stands out immediately because of her background and many other interesting aspects of her personality. She is an ordinary girl with the sacred mission to safeguard a very important Talisman, a relic that many people would want to possess. What would happen if such an item fell into the wrong hands? Another powerful plot element is the relationship between this ordinary girl and the Prince. The adventure of travelling through time to find an era that is safe for the Talisman is exciting enough, but when the life of the Prince is in danger, the excitement becomes dizzying.

Patricia C. Lee has a gift for plot and character, and readers won’t need to read much into the work to realize this as they are immediately swept away by the engaging descriptions, the poetic allure of her language, and the powerful narrative voice right from the opening lines of this beautiful story. The story also touches on a good number of very interesting themes and they will speak to many readers because they are very close to their own experiences. Love, sacrifice, betrayal, and a sense of duty are among the most recurrent ones. I loved the way the characters evolved throughout the story. They are engaging and fully-fledged. Destiny’s Future is one of the very few novels I have read that deals with time travel, and I found it greatly satisfying.
