Heart of Destiny (Book Three) – An Epic Fantasy of War & Fate in Mythic Ireland: Identity Shattered. Cost Revealed. Choice Endures.
About this ebook
She has lived as a warrior. Became Erin’s Hero and sacrificed herself. Now, she must rise as a goddess. And when that power is claimed, the world will bear her mark.
Breanna Ban Morna has survived the forging of a new destiny through the will of the gods. Once a warrior who risked everything to save her people, she awakens changed—no longer bound by the world she defended, yet not free of it. The choices she made to drive back the Norse reshaped time itself, and now she stands at its center.
Fragments of her former life linger—memories of battle, loss, and sacrifice—but they no longer belong to the woman she has become. Reforged through divine intervention, Breanna must confront what she is now: Erin’s Hero—yet something more—walking the fragile boundary between mortal and divine.
Guided by visions and haunted by what was lost, she is drawn into the Cycle of Time itself. There, she must face the truth of her rebirth and the being who shaped it—Dagda, the All-Father, who now stands as both god and reluctant father figure. Through him, she learns that the power she carries is not a gift, but a burden meant to test the soul that bears it.
As the echoes of her choices ripple outward, the world begins to shift. Empires stir. Faiths rise. The past bends beneath the weight of what she changes to save her people's future. Breanna alone can walk these turning paths, for she is no longer merely a champion, but the axis upon which time itself may turn.
Yet power demands consequence.
To bend the great river of time is to accept that some lives cannot be saved. Each choice closes doors forever. Each victory carries a cost. To change history may mean losing those she loves most—perhaps even the one bound to her as her fated mate and protector.
As the gods watch and the world holds its breath, Breanna must decide whom she will become. For the fate of her people—and the future of all who follow—now rests in the hands of one who was never meant to carry such weight.

About the author
James Raquepau is an American author of historical fantasy novels. He's known for his Dàn Cycle (Destiny Cycle) series, which weaves together history, mythology, and adventure set in Celtic Ireland, exploring the idea of altering the course of history.
Special thanks go to my primary editor, Holly Atkinson, who owns Evil Eye Editing (www.evileyeediting.com). After tuning up Lann Dàn – Blades of Destiny Revised Edition III | Dàn Cycle One, she turned her keen eye to the content of my second novel, Stone of Destiny Revised Edition II. She helped me implement a new POV scene switching system across Blades, Stone, and Heart of Destiny.
Holly’s copyeditor, Sigred Harris, provided the line edit work, along with additional content input! My early readers have been impressed by their help and these new, improved editions of my novels that kick off the Destiny Cycle series.
