Evanor lost his voice when he saved his sister-in-law from an attack. Now he is a mage without power, because he is a voice mage. His last hope is the healer Mariel, who promised to follow her friend Serina to Nightfall together with her son. Evanor has the feeling that she might also be his destined bride, but he has to wait and see about this. As if his worries about his voice aren’t enough, the council of Katan comes to the island to stir up new trouble for the brothers and their mates.

Ms. Johnson delivers with each book a real keeper and THE SONG is no exception. It’s like Ms. Johnson and her mages put a spell on their readers, because the story is absolutely enchanting and takes the reader on a journey to the isle of Nightfall. One might worry that the theme of “the meeting of a destined bride” becomes a little bit boring, but Ms. Johnson manages to give each brother it’s very special story and twist in the plot.

The book is the fourth book of the SONS OF DESTINY series and although it is possible to start with this one, I promise you that you will run to the next bookstore to get the first three books, because these brothers are absolutely addictive. There should be a warning label that the books are addictive. I can hardly wait to read Trevan’s story “THE CAT”, which will be released in June 2008

I can highly recommend THE SONG, because it is the best book of this genre that I have read in months.
