Gods of Destiny #2
The Wizard's Bitch
Looking for a classic love story? This isn’t it ...
The sequel to Billy Dee of the Ozarks provides a harrowing backstory and a gripping conclusion to the epic adventure and love story of Billy Dee and Katie/Kōtai.
Kōtai’s story begins in medieval Nippon during the reign of the child empress Meishō. An Akita pup is whelped among the Matagi, and a perfect little bitch she was. A gift from the gods, whispered the gamekeeper. When she is stolen, and taken to a far land known as Scotland, a land still haunted with magic and wizardry, events unfurl, which never should have happened.
Over three hundred years later, a young Billy Dee journeys to Scotland searching for his place in the world and discovers both love and danger within the cloistered community of Clan Dee. It isn’t long, however, before he once more feels the burden of destiny stalk his footsteps and he executes a defiant return to his homeland in the Ozarks. Only now he has a wife.
A story that begs to discern between the power of free will or the chains of destiny. Never to forget, a healthy dose of the Blues soothes all souls and there is a memorable road trip that is all things bluesy …
This is not a story of whimsy, but of life. Man up and live it.

About the author
J. Lee Bagan
5 books33 followersI am an avid reader of all genres and lover of vintage comics. I will enjoy re-reading David Copperfield as much as the latest Ben MacIntyre or BB Griffith. As a writer, though, I am prone to narrative storytelling in the vein of magical realism.
I am also an award-winning quilt artist and was pleased to win ribbons for the companion quilt to the book, Billy Dee of the Ozarks, The quilt is titled 'Highway 61', showcasing a brief history of the Blues. I am the only person I know who makes art quilts to complement their stories.

J Lee Bagan's 'God's of Destiny' (Book 2 of the series) WIZARD'S BITCH is the follow-up to Billy Dee of the Ozarks; and wow!
As usual, blown away by this author's grasp of storytelling.
A magical journey from the West Coast and Highlands of Scotland, to Japan, and back again. Then home to where the first book started, The Ozarks in the US.
The story delves into the connection between humans and animals, and how life is a circle of destiny, with more magic in it than you can imagine.
This book has an unexpected ending and the final pages, filled with the blues, takes it to its final resting place in New Orleans.
This book will capture your imagination from start to finish, and leave you hoping the author will continue the story with Jamie and Katie.
Nice one Lee!

The Wizard’s Bitch by J. Lee Bagan is the second in the Gods of Destiny series. If you enjoyed Billy Dee of the Ozarks, the first in this series, you need to read The Wizard’s Bitch.
This book is finely crafted magical realism, often accompanied by the Blues. Spanning medieval and modern times this story is about destiny, choices and bravery. The Wizard’s bitch takes unexpected twists and turns, weaving a rich tapestry of events which form an unforgettable story. Like Billy Dee of the Ozarks, I could not put this book down.
The Wizard’s Bitch is available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

A history, rife with magic and tragedy explored, a love story, a conclusion that was unforeseen and unexpected, another solid homage to the blues. It was all of that and more.

An Excellent continuation of the author's first creation. Evenly paced with authentic geographic and Blues references. Looking forward to her next one
