Review

Pulled from the sea by a fisherman when she was a baby, Ica is convinced she is the daughter of the god Poseidon and born to accomplish great heroic feats. Sold as a slave to Jason of Massalon, Ica, disguised as a boy, trains to be a soldier. Jason, with his eye on ruling his country, wants to wed the princess Daphne. When King Minos attacks, and Ica is ordered to guard the princess, it is a task she takes to heart, regardless of her budding feelings for Jason. Though circumstances lead Jason to believe Ica is a traitor, he only realizes his feelings for her when he suffers a loss of memory due to an accident while a prisoner of Minos. But when his memory returns he once again must come to terms with his belief that she has betrayed him. Though his kingdom is destroyed by a natural disaster, Minos is determined to have Ica for his own, and follows her to Sicily when the trio escape his clutches. But, when Jason's people put him on the throne as their new king, Jason learns who the real traitor is and goes after Ica himself. Destiny is a unique novel that takes us to a world filled with mythical creatures, mystical powers and people who still fear the powers of the gods. Though detailed in events, Destiny takes us to this mythical world and easily convinces us of its reality. Enter the world of Poseidon, the Minotaur and Mother Earth, and walk hand in hand with the gods of the ancient Mediterranean.A delightful new twist to the historical romance, with a dash of myth and magic! Your Destiny awaits in the land where fantasy begins! Ms. Benedict continues to delight her readers with tales that highlight a gift for the original and unique!Diane Potwin -- Copyright © 1994-97 Literary Times, Inc.
