Of Deception and Divinity: A Fated Mates Romance (Death and Destiny Trilogy Book 3) Kindle Edition

by N. D. Jones (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 63 ratings

The power of true love can conquer all—unless fate has other plans.

Dr. Sanura Williams stands on the brink of destiny. The Day of Serpents looms, threatening to unleash a malevolent water goddess who will drown the world in chaos. As her deadly fire spirit grows harder to control, Sanura must confront the fierce power within her—a power she has feared her entire life. But her incomplete mate bond with Special Agent Assefa Berber leaves her vulnerable, both emotionally and magically, as the prophecy draws closer to fulfillment.

For Assefa, sealing their bond is more than an act of love—it’s the key to their survival. But a shocking family secret shatters his confidence, testing the strength of the undefeated mythical cat spirit within him. As unseen enemies close in, betrayal strikes, and magical assaults threaten their every move, Assefa and Sanura find themselves fighting not just for their love, but for the fate of the world.

In the battle of good versus evil, can the One True Pairing defy fate, unlock their true powers, and save humanity from the wrath of a vengeful goddess? Or has their destiny already been sealed?

Of Deception and Divinity is the explosive conclusion to the Death and Destiny trilogy—a spellbinding paranormal romance series filled with passion, prophecy, and the ultimate battle between love and darkness. This series must be read in order and promises an unforgettable happily ever after.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Trilogy Ending!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017

    Wow, N.D. really summed up this trilogy with a bang! One thing is for certain, when fire and water came together, it proved to be a mighty fight.

    Assefa and Sanura still hadn’t completed their mating bond, although the love the two shared wouldn’t prove otherwise. What neither of them could have foreseen was the war raged over 500 years ago that sort of sealed the character’s fate, or did it? Assefa finally takes his beloved to his home land of Sudan to meet his father, and while visiting it becomes clear there are forces much stronger than their love that does any and everything to rip the two apart. Jones introduced new and shady characters in the mix, as well as tons of excitement, as the reader embarks on a chaotic journey that is all Assefa and Sanura.

    This was a true masterpiece at its finest. A beautifully told story of Assefa and Sanura’s love and a true test of wills in this final part of the trilogy. Readers will get to revisit old characters and come to love and hate some of the newer ones. What I loved about this story is that it really gets to the soul of Assefa and Sanura and proves, once and for all, that love conquers all. I truly enjoyed embarking on their journey. This was such an exciting read and one I’m sure will please all the paranormal romance fans out there.

    Jones weaves her poetic storytelling into a comforter that will engulf and engage the reader with warmth and heart. You can’t ask for any more than that from an author, and Jones has proven she has the writing chops to back up her stories. Outstanding read! Make sure you show her some love and download a copy of it today.

    This was an unexpected read but one I fully enjoyed. I did not rate this series nor did I leave a review until I finished the series. There parts which were infuriating and parts that made you laugh and cry. Yet, each book held my interest and the plot twist was good. I will not give anything away bc I believe the reader deserves to let the story unfold. However, I highly recommend this trilogy and I promise the reader won't be disappointed. I think I have added a new author to my must read list. 👍

    A mark of an exceptional book is its ability to keep you at the edge of your seat with anticipation and evoked deep felt emotions. I hate crying, yet at the same time is cathartic. This book is very much about redemption and make me think of times I felt I was not worthy of forgiveness. The scene with the fire witch that haunted Sanura brought tears to my eyes. I so loved Assefa and Sanura's love story and wish I could continue to read. It's the kind of love I learned for in my heart. I don't want to give more away as this love story is absolutely amazing. Although the story of Assefa and Sanura ended, I can't wait to read Ms. Jones' next installment with Najja and Omar. Although I'm extremely curious about Cynthia and Zareb, whatever Ms. Jones put out is worthwhile of a read. She's a master in evoking emotions in readers, especially this reader. Please keep it coming!

    I loved this trilogy set from book one through book three. The tone of the book keeps the reader enthralled from one character to the next. I've come to love reading books on the supernatural; whether with witches, vampires or werewolves. They have such carnal love for one another and their different abilities keep me coming back for more.
    I definitely recommend this author. I've yet to be disappointed.

    Wow...the third and final book was an awesome read!
    There was a lot of dark and delicious stuff going on, but it's hard for me to write a review without spoiling it for other readers. The few twists and turns that I did not see coming, made for some intense reading. Assefa and Sanura totally rocked! They strengthened their bond, and kicked some asses along the way.
    All I can say is that there is more magic, more violence...and more love. Which culminated in a great ending.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A must-read trilogy with an exciting finale
    Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2017
    This book is nearly non-stop action. From paranormal battles to emotional upheavals, I couldn’t put this one down until I was finished—and that’s saying something considering how avidly I devoured the previous two books in the trilogy.

    As the title implies, this book is the one where lies are revealed. N.D. Jones does a fantastic job of balancing the past influences on our main characters with their present day fears, failures, achievements and love. In fact, she makes the reader feel the love between Assefa and Sanura in a way that’s real, lasting…and threatened, so that you end up holding your breath in the hopes that they will find victory, which isn’t guaranteed.

    All bonds are tested—friends, families, mates and familiars. Sanura’s character is a better woman than I am, because she proves herself much more forgiving than me, and more quickly forgiving at that. Assefa’s personal demons must be faced, and while I think the premise for his long absence from his witch a bit thin, it still holds merit considering his character’s fears, and I appreciate that he was the one that set about his own healing once he realized what he had to lose. Oddly enough I’m much more forgiving of the water witch of legend than the cat of legend, primarily because her inner conflict is completely understandable to me, but my disappointment in the one only emphasizes how ‘real’ these characters have been crafted to be.

    One extremely minor ‘criticism’ for the formatting of this story. Near the end, the author inserts images in order to illustrate her vision. I’d have preferred the images to be in an appendix of some sort, and for her to have trusted her readers to create their own image, and to trust her own words, which were fluid and descriptive and more than good enough to convey the vision she wanted.

    Romances have a happy ending. I wasn’t certain if this one would—there were several ways this story could have ended, including the continuation of the series into ‘the next generation’. It’s a testament to Ms. Jones’ skill that I was so worried for the outcome of her characters and, until it happened, I couldn’t be sure just what would happen.

    Ms. Jones is taking the secondary characters of this book and creating stories for them, too. I will be the first in line to buy those books. If you enjoy paranormal romance as much as I do, you will not want to miss the Death and Destiny trilogy.
