Daughter of Destiny
4 primary works
Book 1
The year is 2006, and a young college sophomore named Jenna Solitaire is going through her grandfather's belongings after his death. Hidden away in the attic of his sprawling house, which was bequeathed to her in his will, Jenna finds a very old journal that is written in a language she cannot read. The strange letters swim before her eyes, then clear and translate themselves into English, and that is when she begins to learn about her unique family history. For Jenna is the Guardian of the nine Boards of Babylon, collectively known as "The Boards of Chaos." And she has found the Board of Air in an antique trunk hidden away in her grandfather's attic. Fascinated, she picks up the board, and it awakens the others. The Guardian has returned.
Book 2
Having mastered the power of the Board of Air, Jenna travels to Jerusalem to find the Board of Water. She is accompanied by Simon Monk, who seeks the Boards on behalf of the Vatican. Jenna doesn't trust Simon, but he's her only source of information about the Boards. In Jerusalem, Jenna meets Saduj, a local guide who claims to know the whereabouts of the Board of Water. Simon is suspicious, but Jenna finds herself strangely attracted to Saduj. Jenna must find the Board before it awakens and causes unimaginable destruction. But will she lose her heart - and possibly her life - in the process?
Book 3
From the searing desert of Israel, Jenna and Simon travel to the ancient city of Pompeii, following the clues to the hiding place of the Board of Fire - also known as the Board of the Flames. But Peraud is hot on their trail, and is more determined than ever to claim the two Boards the Keeper already possesses. Jenna must also contend with her growing attraction to Simon, who is torn by his desire for her - and his sacred duty to the Church.
Book 4
"My name is Jenna Solitaire, and I am the Keeper of the Boards - with the elements of Air, Water, and Fire now at my command." Having found the Board of Fire, Jenna and Simon hurry to decipher the clues that will lead them to the Board of Earth - and mastery over the very land itself. On their way to locate the tomb of a mythical English hero, and fending off shadowy new attackers who want the Boards for themselves, an offer of help comes from a relentless enemy. Can Jenna and Simon trust him to help them - or are they walking straight into a trap set by the one who has coveted the Boards for millennia?
