Guy MacLeod is a man who hasn't yet accepted his destiny. Instead, he is a man bent on vengeance for the death of his family. He is known as unforgiving and ruthless towards his enemies. He was witness to the brutal massacre of his family when he was young. He has vowed that the clan who murdered his family will not live while he is alive. He is consumed by his hatred and vengeance and refuses to take his vows as a Master because of it. When Guy sees the woman he has been seeing since he was young telling him to come to her and let her help him, his world is thrust upside down. When he is brought into her world into the future, he sets out to find her.
Tabitha Rose is one of the Rose women who have been fighting against evil since they were born. She is a witch who hasn't fully come into her powers. She is also a teacher. She is always calm and rational the person that everyone needs her to be. She is in the fight against evil that is threatening her city and the Innocents within it. When she visits the Met and sees a Celtic exhibit about Melvaig, she has a vision of Guy MacLeod and knows she must help him. She finds Guy MacLeod when she least expects it as he saves her life, when evil threatened it.
Guy saves Tabitha's life as they learn there is a witch from the past bent on destroying Tabitha Rose. In order to keep her safe, Guy takes Tabitha back to his own time. The sparks fly between them as Guy brings out the passionate side of Tabitha Rose, showing the woman she is not the facade she shows everyone else. The passion between these two is so hot the pages ignite beneath your fingertips. They both realize they must face their destinies or be torn from each other forever.
Dark Victory is a powerful story about the loss of family, revenge, redemption, the healing power of love, and the ultimate fight between good and evil. Brenda Joyce has given us a passionate love story of two characters searching for their destinies and finding them within each other. Dark Victory should be devoured and then savoured slowly by readers. I can't wait to see what happens in next instalment of the Masters of Time and the Rose trilogy.
