Sorcerers must be defeated - such is the will of the Goddess. And Lord Shawns - and he is a former engineer chemist Wally Smith - leads a campaign against magic-wielding adherents of the greedy God Ogni. But besides the mission entrusted to him by the Goddess, he also has his own goal. The sutra riddle of the demigod is becoming less and less mysterious, the meaning of its line by line opens to a warrior of the seventh rank, and soon, very soon he will comprehend the meaning of the last line... The novel "Destiny" is the third book of David Duncan's tetralogy "The Seventh Sword."
