Arising Fate

Haunted by visions that bleed into reality and a beast buried deep within her mind, Thessaly's life fractures in a single night. What begins as survival draws her into a lethal game between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, the gods who have abandoned them, and a prophecy whispering of a power the world believed long dead and never meant to return.

Pulled into treacherous alliances and ancient politics, Thessaly's magic awakens faster than she can control it, clawing at her humanity each time she gives it voice. Her war is personal and danger often walks beside desire.

Riven, heir to the Seelie Court, was forged between two worlds. Born into a lineage the Courts deny and shaped by a past whose cruelty taught him to bury every softness, he learned early that loyalty is earned in blood and trust is a luxury he cannot afford. Yet, Thessaly breaches every wall he's built. Drawn to her defiance and the beast curling beneath her skin, he becomes both her sharpest adversary and her most relentless protector as distrust ignites into a dangerous, forbidden spark.

But fate is never singular.

Valen, marked by loss and carrying a power of his own, walks a quieter, bloodstained path-one tangled with sacrifice, survival, and truths some would rather remain buried. His choices may tip the balance of a war he never asked to fight.

As prophecy tightens its grip and loyalties fracture, Thessaly must decide what she is willing to sacrifice -- power, love, or herself entirely.

Because if the prophecy is right, her rise may save the realms . . .
or shatter them beyond repair.
