Legends of the Fenian Warriors #4
Destiny of a Warrior
"You met him in the Order of the Dragon Knights. Now, journey to the realm of the Fae and witness their greatest legend!”
As leader of the Fenian Warriors, Aidan Kerrigan’s accolades are many and his loyalty to the Fae unwavering. When an unexpected mission sends him to the human world and a chance encounter with Rose MacLaren, he’s tempted for the first time in his existence to discard duty and claim what is forbidden.
Rose MacLaren, a Society of the Thistle member, yearns to expand her botanical knowledge with her love of history. After her rescue by a handsome stranger, she is compelled to look beyond what her rational mind comprehends and unravel the secret of the standing stones, as well as the man who captivates her.
In a mystical world ruled by ancient laws and edicts, can a fierce warrior choose a path destined for love? And will a woman honoring the ways of the land believe in a myth only spoken of in legends? If they do, will their love be enough to defy death’s punishment?

The great Aidan Kerrigan was a tale I feared to write. When he first appeared in the story, Dragon Knight’s Medallion, Order of the Dragon Knights, Book 2, I panicked. I did not know he was a Fenian Warrior until he walked through the crowd of people at the airport to greet his daughter, Aileen. His presence loomed mighty and grew with the previous stories in the Legends of the Fenian Warriors. Regardless, I knew then that his and Rose’s love story had to be told.
With each Fenian Warrior’s story, I shared a layer about this Fae. Little did I know when I penned his first line of dialogue that he was the leader of the Fenian Warriors, came from royalty, and his sister was Queen of the Fae realm.
He chose not to reveal any of this to me. And this is why I became terrified. What more could he share? Well, dear readers, Aidan made it simple. He told me to write a love story, stating, “For you see, love is greater than all the power attained in the world—be it human or Fae.”
Therefore, I took you back in time to when he was the leader of the Brotherhood—Fenian Warriors. To when this great warrior had no blemish to stain his life and love flipped his world upside down.
And the lovely Rose MacLaren was a perfect match. As he professed to her, “I saw beauty inside the depth of your soul. Your intelligence would rival any Fae in the herbal gardens, and you possess a wisdom that sparks from a desire to learn more. You challenge me, leannan.”
I hope you’ve enjoyed a glimpse behind the scenes of this powerful love story.

Destiny of a Warrior
Legends of the Fenian Warrior #4
By Mary Morgan
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Aiden Kerrigan is the leader of the Fenian Warriors and his loyalty to the Fae is as old as can be, but when an unexpected mission has him sent to the human world it becomes the stuff legends are made of.
Rose MacLaren is a Society of the Thistle member and yearns to expand her botanical knowledge while using her love of all things historical. At one point she is in need of rescuing and a handsome stranger has her looking beyond what most human minds can comprehend. This brings her up close and personal with all things that she wouldn't normally find rational.
Now she has a whole lot on her plate and instead if getting easier it actually gets harder to understand. In a mystical world that is ruled by ancient laws and edicts these two will have to figure out if they can go forward together and forge a path that could be written in the stars.
Will Rose be able to handle the truth of what is right in front if her and will a fierce warrior be able to turn his back on all he has ever known?
Mary Morgan is absolutely brilliant. This is definitely a book I don't think I'll ever forget. I could actually feel the love, the honor, and the sorrow that these two main characters went through. I had tears in my eyes. This was such an incredibly compelling story. I'm still sitting here thinking about this book. I don't think it has ever taken me this long to read a book, but it was all for good reasons as I wanted to savor this story and taste it like a fine wine. I wish I could give this story unlimited stars because that is exactly what it deserves. Ms. Morgan you have truly shocked me in the best way one can be shocked.

Aidan Kerrigan is the leader of the Fenian Warriors including the Brotherhood and could do no wrong well at least in his mind. Aidan is also the exalted brother of Queen Nuala who is also Queen of the Fae. When Aidan is tasked to fix a mistake on a stone on Earth that could lead to the discovery of the Fae he knows that this is something that will be concluded early with no problems until he meets Rose MacLaren. Aidan is at first curious and astonished by Rose’s intelligence. Aidan is also stunned by her unraveling the mystery of the Fae and knows that he must hide it. As Aidan gets closer to Rose he can’t help his attraction to her either. Aidan can’t figure out what secrets Rose holds that continually keep him spellbound to her but knows his attraction to her is dangerous to his world. The more Aidan tries to resist Rose the more he falls deeper in love with her. When everything is revealed including Aidan’s love for Rose it not only could destroy him but both their worlds as well. Can Aidan do his duty or will love take down one of the strongest warriors ever?
Just when you think that there are no more stories to tell in the Fenian Warriors Series this book comes along and gets everyone all excited about yet another Fenian Warrior. Actually the first Fenian Warrior who shows up in the Dragon Knights books. So yes his story is legendary and made us wonder what exactly his story was so it’s great to actually get to read it. Of course since a lot of us know what happens to him this was a bit bothersome and knowing the fact that he risks everything for love doesn’t even get him back where he was, really gives no heartfelt feelings for the Fae or that they are truly forgiving no matter what light they are portrayed in. The worlds of Ireland, Scotland which are true places and even the Fae are not hard to even imagine wishing that the Fae world really is an actual place. The characters are even wonderfully drawn and easily seen. Aidan the arrogant handsome Fenian Warrior might seem all powerful but to be taken down by a mere human is nice to see that makes him much more relatable and easy to fall for too. Rose is a great heroine; she’s beautiful, smart and brave. That makes her likable but hard not to feel a little bit jealous of her. Still the story is quite magical that not only everyone will enjoy but humans and Fae supposedly live harmoniously with each other is a nice thought too. Hopefully there will be more stories of the Fenian Warriors or of the Fae and most of all the humans that inhabit this world!

Aidan Kerrigan’s moral compass leads his every thought, feeling and emotion. As the leader of the Fenian Warriors, he has a responsibility to be an example to those men he mentors. There is no space for emotion, yet alone love. But when a situation surfaces, he’ll have to use every ounce of willpower to resist the alluring beauty Rose MacLaren, a Society of the Thistle member. What she uncovers will change both fae and human realms forever. Aiden pushes away her advances but in a moment of clarity, he realizes his destiny is walking through life with Rose. Will she accept him as the man he is and will she wait for him when he sacrifices all for her love?
I have read snippets of Aiden’s and Rose’s love story in past books and I was so excited when Mary Morgan told me she’d written their story. I had high expectations and was interested in how the story would play out. I was not disappointed. In fact, I truly believe this is Mary Morgan’s best book to date.
Continuity is a huge thing for me, especially when it comes to a series. I remember certain details from previous books and in Destiny of a Warrior, these threads are woven throughout the story. Even small details are brought forward with more clarity in this book. Well done, Mary Morgan!
The reason why I say this is the best book of Mary Morgan’s career is the emotional attachment the reader feels for the characters. There are several obstacles which Aiden and Rose have to overcome before they can be together. Aiden must open his heart to the possibility of love while Rose must open her spirit to the magic within Aiden. The struggle is real within them both and there were times I cried aloud for them to confess their true feelings for one another.
There’s one scene where Rose is close to breaking down, her heart split open and anguish pouring out, where I hugged my tablet and wept with her. The emotion coming from the words written pierced my soul and I let my emotions take over. This reaction is a rare one for me and I applaud Mary Morgan for an excellently written story.
If you’re looking to be transported to Scotland and Ireland, complete with a magical love story and one act of defiance which will shake the Fae realm for years to come, pick up Destiny of a Warrior today. Highly recommend!
Favorite Character/Quote:
“Rose was his land—his home. A part of him fractured with the realization. When did his world tilt off its axis? There was no firm compass anymore. No sure direction, save one. Rose.”

Aidan Kerrigan is the leader of the Fenian Warriors and takes his duties very seriously. When he is told he must go to the human realm for what could be a disasterous mission he is not happy. Unfortunately when his King and the Seer say it's got to be him he has no choice but submit to destiny.
Rose MacLaren is a member of the Society of the Thistle. Most of the women in the society are decendents of the original members from hundreds of years before. Some have special gifts. Rose has had a recurring vision which is unusual. It always involves the same man and the standing stones.
Our hero is a Fae of strong beliefs and an iron will. Our heroine and her sister love to investigate historical places and plants.
This is a magical romance full of fun and wonderful characters.
I have read all the books in this series. Because our hero can travel through time you can read this alone or inbetween any of the others.
I loved each book.

Aidan Kerrigan is the leader of the Fenian Warriors and his loyalty to the Fae is unwavering but an unexpected mission in the human world and a chance encounter with Rose MacLaren is tempting him to discard duty and claim what is forbidden. She is compelled to look beyond what her rational mind comprehends and unravel the secret of the standing stones, as well as the man who captivates her.
This heartfelt fantasy romance is the stuff fantasies are made of and has readers sighing in envy and delight. The characters are strong and obviously belong together as Aidan and Rose defy death itself to claim his happily ever after. The romance is sweet, fulfilling and a true love story that captures the essence of romance - the true heart of romance.
This steady paced plot keeps readers glued to the pages as it transport readers to a magical world. The story is full of passion as Aidan and Rose get to know each other but readers can also feel the expectation of what is to come as the relationship is forbidden. This story is a delightfully charming read and so engaging that the world outside the book ceases to exist for the reader during this wonderful romance.

Outstanding.....absolutely outstanding! I cannot find the words to say how much I loved this story and how much I adored Aidan and Rose. Such amazing and strong characters, she as a human and he as a Fae Warrior. Their love for each other consumed me and I felt every emotion they felt....that's how good the writing is!
You will be brought into a world filled with magic and secrets of the ancients, the Fae. You will also be brought into the human world where one woman is close to discovering their secret. When Aidan is sent to stop her, his heart takes over everything he has ever been taught and believed in. His love for Rose will make him choose the human world but at such a horrific cost, he may not even survive it! Only Rose can bring him back....
Oh and another thing....I just KNEW Nessie was real!!!!! lol
I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Aidan Kerrigan and Rose MacLaren
If you have been waiting for this book like the rest of us. Well, be happy and put that smiling face on. Dive into the book that will make you want to reread it many times. There is no surprise that Mary Morgan walks you through each and every scene. You feel like you are in the book as you read each word.
My Fav quote, “A castle is a castle, regardless of the size.” Heck yea and I would love to be his mistress of any castle he owns. OK back on track, Aidan (HOT) and Roses path is a long and bumpy, but it is worth it. You laugh, want to cry, and hold hands with them as they travel the line that was drawn for them.
Take the time and reads this book. It’s worth the time and emotions.

Talk about being taken to another world and not wanting to come back! Mary Morgan is a master at immersing the reader in a magical place and time with characters that grab the heart and don't let go until the end.
Aidan appeared in the Order of the Dragon Knights Series so it was wonderful to read his story. He is the leader of the Fenian Warriors and a Royal Fae and shows he can do almost anything and he lives to serve. But when he meets Rose he is tempted to leave it all behind for her.
This story is a journey filled with magic, sacrifice, secrets and a love that will defy time. Once I started reading I was not able to put it down and it drew out all my emotions. Even talking to the characters as I turned the pages! Prepare to be enthralled in another amazing story by this awesome author!! Cannot wait for her next story!

I was a little hesitant about reading Aidan Kerrigan’s story knowing what his future held having read about him in the previous books and knowing some of his story already. However I needn’t have worried as this book was totally mesmerizing and it kept me spellbound from beginning to end! I fell in love with Aidan and I must say I was torn at whether or not I really wanted him to go on the mission to the human realm knowing the decisions he would have to make. I shed many tears throughout this story and yes felt anger towards King Ansgar for what he put Aidan through. I loved Rose and loved her strength and tenacity. I really appreciated the way Mary Morgan ended the story and also how she included her note afterwards. I will be re-reading The Legends of the Fenian Warriors again and again, as I have the Order Of The Dragon Knights! The next book by this author can’t come soon enough for me….she is absolutely brilliant!!

A love story that rivals the best! It plucked all my heartstrings.
The story captures the light of love, its purity of heart and its strength to endure when all appears lost. By following their hearts, Rose and Adrian must overcome unsurmountable dictates of the Realm.
If you have been following Mary Morgan’s two series, Destiny of a Warrior will encourage another go-around reading both.
Morgan’s world building puts you in the thick of things—caught between the Fae Realm and earth. It’s fast-paced with snappy dialogue, and rich scenes making her world so believable, it is no longer fantasy.
Rose MacLaren is a determined, intelligent character with her feet on the ground and her mind searching for aliens who might be among us. She also has seizures which produce visions she can’t make sense of. Rose belongs to a society of women learning about herbs used in the past which brings her very close to a dig she gets to see, while her sister takes plenty of pictures. This is Rose’s opportunity to pursue a theory she has involving some etching she saw on one of the stones in a stone circle. Could it be more than etchings, perhaps the ancient writing Ogham?
Travel between realms with Adrian, a Fenian Warrior and Fae, to Scotland and Ireland discovering his destiny in the arms of Rose MacLaren.
You will be in the depths of despair when the Fenian Warrior breaks Fae rules. Love is paramount and punishment must be endured. Make sure to add tissues to your grocery list. You will empty a box in sympathy for their plight. And I loved every minute!

This is the first book that I’ve read by this author, and I am completely blown away! She has a way of writing that pulls you right in and allows you to visualize this sometimes strange world that she has constructed so beautifully. She shows rather than tells, and we really get to know the characters and their struggles in an intimate way that feels real. The level of the prose is exceptional. It is lyrical and poetic but still accessible. The writing just flows and charms you so that you willingly follow the magical, fantastic journey. Rarely have I read such exquisitely written paranormal fantasy romance. I love, in this book, the blend of Irish mythology and stories with 1980s Scotland. Two of my favorite places to visit! Aiden and Rose came across as so real in their goals, motivations, and conflicts. Their chemistry was there in spades. The tension, both romantic and otherwise, was palpable and seemed true to the characters and the story arc. I read and review a lot of books, and this is one of the times that I actually went and bought several of the author's books so I can continue to live in the world that she creates. Just exceptional. I am looking forward to more!

Destiny of a Warrior (Legends of the Fenian Warriors Book 4)
There have been 3 books I have read that have stayed with me forever, I remember the year’s I read them, where I read them, the music I listened too when I read them, the joy, the journey, the sacrifice & sorrow but most of all the Love.
This Is Aiden "You met him in the Order of the Dragon Knights. Now, journey to the realm of the Fae and witness their greatest legend!"
This is Rose’s, Rose MacLaren, a Society of the Thistle member, yearns to expand her botanical knowledge with her love of history.
In a mystical world ruled by ancient laws and edicts, can a fierce warrior choose a path destined for love? And will a woman honoring the ways of the land believe in a myth only spoken of in legends? If they do, will their love be enough to defy death's punishment?
The destiny of a Warrior is for me one of THE best stories Mary Morgan has written In my opinion, I would recommend this series & the Dragon Knight series, to anyone who believes in the magic & strength of Love.

Mary Morgan has done it again. Ms. Morgan introduced me to historical, Celtic paranormal and fantasy romance. Since then, I have read all of her books (no necessarily in order- but that doesn’t natter) and this book has become my very favorite. Aidan is the Leader of the Fenian Warriors who lives for his job until... Rose’s strength shows him what love can do.
Rose and Aidan are wonderful characters you can’t help but cheer them on. The story will suck you in and refuse to let you go until you reluctantly turn the last page with a sigh sorry to see it end. I love stories that make you feel you’re on the journey with the characters. Descriptions so vivid you can see, feel and smell them.
If you love romance, secrets, twist and turns with strong heroes and heroines then you are going to love Destiny of a Warrior! Are you still sitting there staring at this review? What are you waiting for? Secure your copy today and join Aidan and Rose’s adventure! You’ll be so glad you did. Oh, did I mention the love scenes sizzle right off the page?

If I could rate this higher I would, for Aiden Kerrigan and Rose MacLaren's story was truly magical for me. I had wanted to know their full story since his name appeared in this author's Order of the Dragon Knights Series. Aidan has intrigued me throughout and now having read his story it gripped my heart in various ways. Such as happiness and sadness are just some of the feelings I am left with.
Aidan is the Leader of the Fenian Warriors and a Royal Fae as well. Rose is a member of the Thistle Society. These two have a destiny to fulfill. One that takes you on an intense journey.
I can highly recommend not only this story in the Fenian Warriors Series, but also the Dragon Knights Series. This author did a phenomenal job with both of these series. I would read them in order to get the full picture. You will not regret it. Submerge yourself in these Scottish realms for true enjoyment!

I bow down to Mary Morgan for her tenacity in writing Aidan Kerrigan’s story, at long last. He so deserved his story to be told, and who better than Mary to tell it.
Aidan is a Fenian Warrior, not only that, but a leader to the Fenian Warriors. He is out to prove he can do anything, strength, endurance, power, and yes even stand alone with love he didn't know he possessed. .
But what he doesn't know there is a little someone Rose MacLaren, who has foresight, and she sees him in her dreams.
I wanted to scream, cry, and help Aidan, but he had to find out the hard way, what the strength of one woman can do... for love; and what he was willing to do for love....
This is a intense, enthralling, painstakingly, magical, darkness, motivated story. It weaves you in and tangles the mind and body with what will happen next, and when it it does??
It is so worth reading the outcome.
If you love romance, secrets, lies, and strong heroes and heroines, then you will love this.
What would you do for love?
Thank you Mary Morgan, I truly loved his story, Aiden deserved it.

It’s been a while since I’ve read about the Fenian Warriors and it was nice to return to their world. The author gives us Aidan and Rose’s story, and to do it, she takes us back in time when Aidan was still leader of the warriors. Aidan’s story is as intense as the man himself, and his love story is one for the ages. Aidan’s story could easily be read before the others – as things that happen in this book affect the other warriors, so even though it’s the 4th book in the series, it could easily be the first. Rose MacLaren is a strong, smart and beautiful heroine, well matched to Aidan.
The author writes an intricate world, full of detail and you feel like you are standing in the Fae realm as she pulls you into this story along with her characters. It’s hard to forget these warriors, and if you haven’t read any of this series, then I really believe you are missing out. Highly recommended.

Sometimes you must go back to the past to clearly understand the events of the present. Mary Morgan’s Destiny of a Warrior is an excellent example of this very thing Not so much the distance past, just to the year 1986. This is well before the time of Aileen, the heroine of Dragon's Knight's Medallion, her story or her travels but yet she is a part of this one too. This is of course, Rose McLaren’s and Aidan Kerrigan’s story of loyalty, duty, sacrifice and love. One book is not dependent on the other but I dare anyone to read one without wanting to read the other.
Well, Mary Morgan has outdone herself with this true gem of a story. A great love story that will stick with you long after the last page is finished. With it also comes warnings and wisdom, such as, “With love comes pain, regardless of the great joy,” or “Power is fleeting. Love is everlasting.” Rose and Aiden, you will not be forgotten.
An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’m not sure what to write about this book. I enjoyed it and yet if asked wouldn’t overly be able to pinpoint exactly why! Having not read any of the rest of the series I wondered if I would be able to follow but due to the hero being who he was found it no issue! It’s a slight deviation from my usual genre although one that I do visit from time to time. This book has made me want to go back and read more of this world so that’s my next move!

It started with Aidan, leader of the Fenian Warriors, and now we get to read his story. Falling in love with a human is absolutely forbidden by the Fae Council and the laws that govern their people. But there is a lesson learned here that love forms the strongest bonds, and when called, there is no avoiding it. No matter what dire circumstances may occur! Thank you for Aidan and Rose's story as I am certain that other readers of the previous books were just itching for this sequel!

Love is stronger than any magic!
Omg what a love story! Sweet and tender yet passionate and fierce! I knew Aidan Kerrigan would sweep us off our feet, the mighty leader of the fenian warriors doesn't do anything in half measures including love.
Aidan Kerrigan is descended from a total line and is the very powerful leader of the Fenian Warriors. He has lived centuries and is fiercely loyal to his people. Sent to the human realm on a quest for the fae he fall madly in love with Rose!

The fourth book in the Legends of the Fenian Warriors series a book that makes you feel like you are there watching it happen. There was a point when I felt like if I could I would do some harm to the Fae for what they where doing to Fenian Warrior Aidan Kerrigan. This is Aidan Kerrigan and human Rose MacLaren, a Society of the Thistle member's story. I recommend this book.

Another wonderful story!
In this fourth book of the Fenian Warriors, we are given the story of Aidan Kerrigan. As usual, Mary Morgan has written a detailed and fulfilling tale for us to enjoy. I cannot wait for Ms Morgan to give us more in this series, the Legends of the Fenian Warriors! But if you haven't already, read her Dragon Knights series, which are also exceptional. She is an amazing storyteller.

This is my first book by this author. I really enjoyed her writing style. She made me actually visualize the world she made , and feel what her characters were experiencing. The book was very well written with wonderfully likeable characters. Just a great entertaining book.

This is the final book in the Legends of the Fenian Warriors. I love this book! It tells the story of Rose and Aidan, the Fenian Warrior. Rose is a human woman and Aidan is a Fenian Warrior- this is not allowed. But still he falls in love. It is a sweet, touching, and exciting story. Check it out for a thoroughly entertaining read!

If you’re a Mary Morgan fan, like me, this is the book you’ve been waiting for. The legend of Aiden Kerrigan and his great love for Rose was only hinted to, up to this point.
In Destiny of a Warrior, we get the full impact of their strength, determination, and passion.
I’m at a loss for words. You must read this book.
If you aren’t a Mary Morgan fan yet…what are you waiting for?
