The second entry in Rachael A. Edwards’ dark fantasy duology, Threads of Fate, delivers a thrilling finale in an adventure filled with power, betrayal, and destiny.
Once anointed a sacred vessel to Næbya, a goddess of Fate, seventeen-year-old Lena has severed her magical bond to the crown and fled in exile alongside teen emperor Dimas, scrappy young huntress Maia, and handsome smuggler Casimir. Facing the wrath of a corrupted deity and bloodthirsty cultists, the branded fugitives make their way across monster-infested mountains to seek aid from Queen Anja in the free lands of Verlond.
The farther she runs from her home country of Wyrecia, the more Lena can feel her newfound powers to control the threads of Fate waning. Dimas, meanwhile, battles with a curse of shadows slowly corrupting his mind and body as his nefarious cousins mobilize a crusade for Næbya into the very territory they seek refuge in.
To restore balance to their shared empire and rid the world of Næbya’s dark magic, former adversaries Lena and Dimas must come together and embark on a pilgrimage to track down and free the Lost Sisters of Fate from an otherworldly prison. Along the way, Lena must learn to channel her own source of magic as Dimas clings to any remedy that can slow his transformation into something hideous—in a desperate struggle to rid themselves of an evil that has gone unchallenged for too long.
A heartrending and perilous journey, this enemies-to-friends young adult dark fantasy keeps the pages turning with terrifying nightmares, tender breaths of romance, and a magic system rooted in mythological lore.
