The Sword — Jean Johnson

Eight brothers, born in four sets of twins, two years apart to the day -- they fulfill the Curse of Eight Prophecy.

To avoid tempting Destiny, they're exiled to Nightfall Isle, where females are forbidden. But when the youngest of the mage-brothers rescues a woman from another universe, their world is altered forever.

Kelly Doyle wasn't just having a bad day, she was having a bad decade. Threatened, attacked, and accused of witchcraft, Kelly is fed up with her narrow-minded small-town neighbors. And now she's landed in another dimension -- the only woman in a magical realm inhabited by eight men who are desperately in need of a woman's touch.

With Kelly in their midst, Saber, the eldest of the eight, is forced to confront the Curse that plagues them -- if he falls in love, disaster is imminent. But in the aftermath of an attack, and despite the threatening Prophecy, Saber and Kelly's passion only grows stronger. If only the Fates didn't take such things so seriously...
