Truth doesn't stay buried forever.
After everything that shattered in a single moment, the Valente family is no longer fighting in the shadows-they're fighting for her. As secrets unravel and loyalties are tested, Azalea is forced to face the truths she once tried to outrun... and the ones that were kept from her.
But truth is dangerous. It doesn't just heal-it destroys.
With enemies closing in and the past refusing to stay silent, the line between protection and control begins to blur. And as everything around her spirals, Azalea must decide who to trust... and whether love is strong enough to survive the truth.
Because this time, silence isn't an option.
And every truth comes at a price.
( This is the second book in a duet, the first book is Owned by Silence)

Forged by fate
Some destinies are written in blood. Others are forged in fire. Book 2 of Games of fate (cannot be read as standalone) Liana was never meant to survive the world she was born into, let alone rule it. When betrayal strikes from the people she loves most, her world collapses in a single night. Forced to disappear, Liana vanishes with nothing but unanswered questions and a past that refuses to stay buried. The same night, her family's empire collapses under the weight of trust. But fate is patient. And it never creates destruction without also creating its undoing. Including the man who once loved her. Nikolas was never meant to fall for her. He was born for revenge, raised on lies, and shaped into something sharp and merciless. But loving Liana was the one thing fate never warned him against-and the one mistake that shatters everything. When destiny forces him to choose between the purpose he was born for and the woman he was never meant to love, the consequences echo far beyond them both. Four years later, the world shifts. Rumors stir in the shadows. Ancient myths resurface. Enemies rise, hunting fragments of a power capable of unmaking balance itself. As past and present collide, Liana must step out of the grave she created and embrace what she has become-stronger, deadlier, and no longer willing to be used. Especially the man who once held her heart and decided to crush it. Because fate is cruelly fair. It creates monsters to destroy monsters. Love to challenge loyalty. Life to demand death. And when destiny is forged by betrayal, the price is never paid by only one heart. Read to find out.
