Magic in the Wind by
Christine Feehan
My rating:
4 of 5 stars
The Drake Sisters series is based on the extraordinary Drake sisters, Sarah, Kate, Abigail, Libby, Hannah, Joley, and Elle, bound, not by blood, but by magic, mysticism and each gifted with special and strange powers.
Their family home is the enchanting and magical Drake House
, which is set on the cliffs overlooking the sleepy, peaceful, charming and delightful coastal town named
The prophecy tells that the gates of their home will open only for each sister’s soul mate.
Magic in the Wind is the 1st introduction to this series and tells the story of Sarah, the eldest Drake sister.
Sarah, a security expert returns to her home and meets Damon Wilder, a scientist hiding in the town from his past and trying to find some peace in his life after having gone through a very traumatic time in his life. He is also hiding from very bad people who are determined to kill him. He’s drawn to Drake House and keeps hearing about Sarah.
When he arrives at Drake House, the gates open up for him. Now, of course, we all know what that means!!!!
Mystery, magic, prophecies, evil, love, intrigue, humor, romance, ..... we get all that plus introduced to some amazing characters, especially the sisters who arrive to help Sarah in helping Damon.
This is a sweet and lovely love story. I would have liked the story to have been a bit longer…it’s rather short for me to have really got into Sarah & Damon.
However, it does give us a chance to meet the characters i.e. sisters for the upcoming books in the series.
If you want to read more about the Drake Sisters prophecy….check out the poem the author gives us….i really liked it

DRAKE SISTER PROPHECY~
These things say she
Who holds the gifts of the seven
Who walks at twilight
Holding the seven golden lamps
Seven sisters intertwined
Controlling elements of air, land and sea
Cannot control the fate they flee
One by one, oldest to last, destiny shall claim them
When the locked gate swings open in welcome
The first shall find true love
As the sisters stand in wonder
At what destiny has done
Within each sisters heart now beats passion
While love turns as a key
By the time the year is ended
Each will follow thee
Remember therefore from whence you came
Knowing that in the end it is the seventh
That will renew the line again
Seven daughters of a seventh daughter
Each gifted each giving each tied to one another
For those who have ears let them hear
For those who have eyes let them see
For all that I have said shall come to be
To the eldest is gifted agility, grace
And the knowledge to see what future we face
Second in line speaks peace with a word
While the third calls truth from the unspoken word
Next comes the healer with hands that can find
That which is deadly and make it unbind
The fifth harnesses elements of air, wind and sea
As the sixth sister sings a spell over thee
Last of the seven youngest of all
Possesses the greatest gift of them all
To her falls the bearing of children to be
So that the line will continue and forever more be
Each gift has a challenge which must be overcome
The seven free sisters must act now as one
With grace and agility comes great bodily fatigue
While speaking peace raises ire and continual need
The calling for truth from the unspoken word
Gives way to illusion for naught has been heard
She whose hands can undo death for another
Will take on the illness and hope to recover
The harnessing of wind tides and sea
Gives way for the unknown to be
As the spell singer sings casting her spell
One misspoken word and alls to no avail
For the seventh child of the seventh daughter
New corridors open holding illusion, power
But which path to take and where does it lead
Choices to make while each plants a seed
These things I have spoken so harken ye well
For lives you are changing with each casting of spell But know in your heart when you must turn away For some will be lost as it is destinies way
Yours is a legacy not easily born
So beware of the pitfalls and careful of thorns
The gifts they are many
Born from the past
Surviving the years for the future to last
From mother to daughters
And back through the line
The gifts that you carry always will bind
Prophecy written by Anita Toste, eleventh daughter in the infamous and magical King family, in the year before the great wars between Magick and Science.
