I have waited very patiently, well not really, for Rydan's story. He has been a mystery thus far as he minimally associates with his brothers and their spouses but this all changes when twin sisters, Rora and Mara arrive. As we discovered in The Cat, Mara was destined to be Tristan's bride and now it's Rydan's turn. It was interesting that The Cat and THE STORM took place simultaneously but from different brothers' view points.

Oh what a story this turned out to be. We discovered the multitude of secrets that Rydan has been hiding as Rora digs deeper and deeper into his psyche. I was most intrigued with the way the entire story played out. Rora is not without her own secrets as we discover the more we turn pages.

I was especially intrigued with the way Jean Johnson handled Rora and Rydan's secrets as well as how the resolution to their story came about. My only problem with the stories of The Sons of Destiny is that I'm compelled to read them much too quickly as I am impatient to see how each story turns out. I as always eagerly await the next stories in the series.
