What happens when one tries to avoid the fate that has been chosen for them?
A young king does the unthinkable to alter the destiny of his deathly ill daughter. But saving her life means binding her fate to that of another, and in doing so he attracts the malice of an ancient horror.
Will she be able to thrive in a world where she was never supposed to exist in the first place? Or will everyone she meets become corrupted by the warped fabric of fate that now surrounds her? Most importantly, will she and her friends be able to defeat the vengeful shadows that now follow her?
I had the opportunity to read a few chapters of this book early but I never would have guessed where the author decided to take the story! I truly enjoyed spending the afternoon on an adventure with these characters. The world was intriguing and the story engaging at each new turn!
I’m not typically drawn to the fantasy genre, but this book may have converted me! It’s so well written and the author paints a beautifully vivid picture. I really appreciated the very human, very relatable struggles the protagonist faces even when existing in a world that is so unlike my own. I only wish it was longer so I could learn more about the characters and their world - crossing my fingers that there’s a sequel in the works!
Typically this is not the type of book I would read. My daughter gave it to me to read. I always like the books she picks out for me, I’m so glad she did. I enjoyed every bit couldn’t put it down. Well done.
