Academy of Shattered Fates

by Chantal Bubb

Everyone at Realms Academy wants power. Calli just wants to survive. Dragged from her orphanage and forced into a school where creatures of light and shadow are trained to serve their realms, Calli has no alliances, no power, and no control over the strange mark that burns beneath her skin. She’s told to obey. To pass her trials. To become a keystone—bound by blood and magic to a den or nest that will claim her. Failure means exile to the labor camps. Success means losing her freedom forever. But Calli isn’t interested in serving anyone. The system is broken, and she refuses to be another piece of it. When Realms Academy is attacked, Calli faces an impossible fight the fate written for her or surrender to it to save the realms. Dark, emotional, and spellbinding, Academy of Shattered Fates is the first book in The Cursed Prophecy Series—a why-choose romantasy filled with danger, desire, and the price of defiance.

I think this book was absolutely amazing. I was very quickly drawn into the world and the characters. I might be biased as I know the author but I think it’s a great first installation to this series!!!

WOW

I purchased this book because of the amazing cover with no clue about the story at all. I am so glad I did. All of the twists and turns in this story were amazing. I never knew what was coming next, and sometimes I was so mad at some of the characters I wanted to scream!
