He stood on the steep drop towering over the poisonous raging blue waves. The boy inched closer to the centre of the world, his past looping it's technicolour reel before his eyes. The bottomless pit which ruled his nightmares awaited all those unfit for life in a world set in the yet unwritten pages of history. It was an end he had always been told he deserved by his very own father, being one of the rare few born with no supernatural talent in this place where magical powers dictated your worth. Marcus was a dark mark on the royal family's powerful reputation, and proving his right to be alive was a daily struggle, he was about to give up on for good. Surviving a tournament or a revolution were no longer his main concerns. The weight of a dying world lay heavily on his shoulders, and a kingdom's fate depended upon the answer to one question. Will his dive into the cursed water bring about a new start, or will the journey end at the bottom of the well?

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2)
A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own.
