In a land where magic is bound by blood and loyalty is as fragile as peace, one girl must defy destiny—or be destroyed by it. Vanessa Cross is the latest in a long line of Anchoresses, heir to a rare and powerful bloodline destined to protect the balance between realms. Her magic is the key to holding back the rise of demons from the Anti-World and preventing Dishora, the end of time itself. No pressure. With tensions flaring between her tribe, the Lodians, and their ancient rivals, the Balish, Van’s mission seems keep the peace, uphold the fragile new treaty, and, above all, stay alive. Complicating matters? She’s in love with Ferox, the Balish crown prince whose family would rather see her dead than at his side. Summoned to Windermere Castle in East Alga—the stronghold ruled by Ferox’s uncle, Underking Mador, and his calculating son, Underprince Merloc—Van must navigate a web of dangerous politics and hostile alliances. Winning their trust may be the only way to prevent another war. But the more she tries to fit into their world, the more she risks losing herself and setting off the very cataclysm she was born to stop. Perfect for fans of Shadow and Bone and Throne of Glass, Echoes of Fate is a thrilling emotionally charged journey where power comes at a price and hope is the most dangerous magic of all.
