INTERTWINED by Grace Karina Snow
[UPDATED ON FRIDAYS]
One girl,
Destined.
Seven realms,
Fates intertwined.
A shopping mall bombing and a meeting with a stranger thrusts Jade into a dark sinister world, where the land is woven with old magic and assassins lurk around every corner. It was forged with ancient magic, science, and the legacy of the Golden Age. She discovers powers she never knew she had; powers fed by the old magic of the Great Realm, strong enough to tear apart her world, or merge everything back together.
Lance never wanted for guardianship. He thought the idea ridiculous, especially since he was a master assassin and crime world Overlord himself. Yet, he is entrusted the life of a young human girl, destined to change the very fabric of the realms.
But behind the mall bombing, sinister attacks, and plots of assassination is Lance’s old nemesis seeking his chance at revenge. When he threatens to take the Throne of Light for himself and reignite an age-old war between the seven races, Jade realizes she has to make the ultimate choice which will affect the future of the realms. What is she willing to gamble, to sacrifice, in this twisted fairytale?
The stakes are high.
An old prophecy is impending to come true.
And the fates of those she loves, inextricably intertwined.
