Something is amiss. The strings of Fate are being cut, the Realms are being crossed and the creatures of Zioll are invading Ola. And Jobina wants nothing to do with it. For the last twelve years, she has lived life dodging the strings and slipping past kismet and she couldn't be happier. That is until Fate finally grabs a hold of her, placing her in the one cage she can't escape; the gates of St. Ilimys Academy. No matter, she will just become forgettable until even Fate struggles with remembering her. And it works, for a day. However, unfortunately, those who were meant to begin to notice her and she is caught within the web of others' destiny threads. Even Jobina, someone who could shirk something as transcendental as Fate, can't seem to escape the watchful and cynical eyes of the Reincarnates---students showing more strength and power than any Chosen in centuries and said to be the Blesséd Eight rebirthed---and she's not sure how much her cowardly heart can take. As she is intrinsically woven between the fates of each of these Reincarnates, she finds herself falling further into the underbelly of not just Ola, but the other Realms. Darker forces have their own black strings knotted throughout Fate and those influences are getting harder and harder for even Jobina to ignore. She must reconnect the strings, rebuild the boundaries of the Realms, and reset the balance that has been lost. But will she? (Cover artwork not mine, all credits go to original artist)

Who bleeds first in this untamed romance? Excerpt: ''Dude! Let go!'' I yell, my voice muffled by the wall of flesh smashing my face. My one arm was still being held secure in the guy's grip and my other hand is now pinned to my side. Desperate to escape I resort to just wiggling my whole body, thrashing around to try and get loose. Instantly, I'm released and my anger comes back in full force. "You think you can file for harassment over a spilled drink!? Wait until I get a chance to talk to the police because holding me without my consent, against my will is actual harassment!" I yell at the man, trying to straighten my shirt.

She was mine long before she knew it. I had been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life unexpectedly and defiantly, her eyes too bright for a town like this one. She was unafraid of what lay beneath the surface, thinking she could walk away and resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. She was the only thing I had ever chosen. I would break anything to keep her, everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. I will carve that truth into the world, with blood, if I have to. R.
