Description
Love conquers all… but can it stop the Apocalypse?
Mira Herald is having the worst life ever. Not only is she plagued by horrific nightmares starring the Devil himself, she’s now the target of a power-hungry, rogue minion, freshly sprung from Hell and bent on her destruction. To complicate matters further, she’s acquired a stalker. One who insists he’s a divine warrior sent for her protection because she houses an ancient relic with the power to unleash Armageddon. Last time Mira checked, she wasn’t insane. Still, all this celestial mayhem is enough to drive a girl crazy.
Kagan is a member of the Scion, an elite team of immortal warriors selected by Divinity to aid mankind and save the world. After a century alone, Kagan is summoned for a new mission. He’s eager to begin. Eager until he’s informed his mission consists of protecting a woman with no clue to the power she wields. Plus, his briefing fails to prepare him for his new target’s cosmic-sized attitude problem. As Divinity’s sworn servant, he’s required to fulfill his duty. His oath, however, does not require him to be enthusiastic about his new assignment or warm-and-fuzzy toward his new compatriot. He plans a wham-bam rescue and a quick return to solitude.
The rogue minion attacks - with the backing of a mysterious organization - and all Hades erupts, putting a fast end to any whirlwind escapes. Accustomed to staunch independence, Mira’s survival now requires full cooperation and an unwavering belief in Kagan. The battle-hardened warrior is also forced to chose: between duty and desire. Amidst the turmoil, Kagan and Mira’s undeniable passion draws them closer to each other and down a path neither expected but both yearn for, more than they ever knew.
Will love save the day? The world’s fate depends on the answer.

Review
By TeenBlurb
Seal of Destiny is an action-packed, impending-Apocalypse story that introduces us to Mira and Kagan. Mira's life sucks, her nights consists of nightmares, she has a stalker, oh and did I mention the minion from hell that wants to kill her? In waltzes Kagan, her reluctant protector, who likes to say his dirty words in Italian, which he seems to use a lot around her. Kagan was sent to protect Mira and keep the world from being tossed into Armageddon. Mira and Kagan are constantly yelling at each other and fighting like cats and dogs, but under all of that is a passion that would scorch even the sun. Both try to deny it, but each cannot seem to stop the flames from burning brighter and stronger. Love, Minions, and the end of the world? Who could ask for more?
Traci Douglass has an expert hand at writing about fiery couples that are complete opposites. They chemistry between Mira and Kagan is so strong, so poignant, that smoke seems to be unfurling from the pages. The snarky comments and killer comebacks (even if they are in Italian) make for off-the-wall humor and interesting foreign vocabulary lessons! Add in a dash of evil villains of the very first dynasty, their minions, and a huge dose of Armageddon, and you have yourself a very entertaining story and the start of a very promising new series!
