The Fate

Reyna Valerius has spent her entire life running.

From the prophecy that chains her fate.

From the shadow of her tyrant father.

And from the unstable magic that burns beneath her skin.

...

As the fugitive daughter of the Shadow King, Reyna is hunted across both Realms for a crime that she didn't commit - the murder of the Light King, the man that she had secretly loved. Her father's mercenaries hunt her at every corner aiming to drag her back to her father in chains for a few gold coins. And now with the ring that keeps her volatile power in check failing, she must find someone from her past to help before it is too late and her magic consumes her completely.

.

Kael Draven has lived as a mercenary mage, selling his spells in order to afford to survive. When he is approached by the Shadow King himself to track down his supposedly mad daughter for his unique ability in being able to suppress the abilities of Shadowbeings, Kael expects to find a monster. Instead he discovers a woman who is desperately fighting to save the Realms from her father's dark ambitions.

As the truth unravels and the lies shatter, Kael must choose between his orders and his conscience.

To capture the princess and bring her in for the gold that could possibly change his future.

Or to protect the woman who might save them all.
