Clotho, one of the three Fates, has never questioned her eternal duty—until now. When she locks eyes with Marcellus at a mortal festival, something inside her shifts. For the first time in millennia, the thread of a mortal's life becomes more than just another strand in the tapestry of existence. It becomes everything. But loving a mortal comes at a cosmic price. Zeus' thunderbolts crack the sky. The Underworld trembles. Ancient prophecies whisper of destruction. As Clotho fights to keep Marcellus' thread intact, the very fabric of the universe begins to fray. How far will a Fate go to defy destiny? Cursed by Fate is book eight in the Once Upon a Curse book series. A unique collection of fairytale and myth stand-alone retellings with new twists at every corner. For fans of the 1980s Clash of the Titans, A Touch of Darkness, Psyche and Eros, and Circe.
