Affliction (Fate Series, Book 3)
Ariel Young thought she was finally finding stability, but fate has other plans. When tragedy strikes and long-buried secrets come to light, she's forced to confront the pain she's been trying to outrun. As she struggles to hold herself together, the people around her are changing-some for better, some for worse.
Zayn Styles has made his choice-he ended things with Melinda, hoping for a chance with Ariel. But with Miles still in the picture, he forces himself to accept being just her friend, even if it eats away at him. Yet, the tension between them is undeniable, and the more he tries to move on, the harder it becomes to ignore his true feelings.
Meanwhile, Jane Doe's cryptic warnings hint at something far more sinister-something that makes it clear the danger isn't over. The shadows lurking in the background may be darker than anyone realized, and Ariel will have to decide who she can truly trust.
In this gripping third installment of the Fate series, love, loss, and hidden truths collide. But as the weight of grief and uncertainty presses down on her, one question lingers-will Ariel rise above the affliction, or will it consume her?
