The Queen’s eyes are everywhere. Sifa and her dragon can’t hide in Vanatia. Will they find safety or a sword in the enemy’s lands? Sifa’s free but she won’t find refuge here. Desperate to keep Astarot from the queen’s clutches, Sifa and Fhord seek help from Vanatia’s rival kingdom. But when the capricious monarch demands an unexpected bounty for his support, the rider and her beast find themselves alone in a strange land facing an impossible task. Fhord’s dragon is paying for his betrayal. Aching to protect Sifa from brutal captivity in Vanatia, Fhord convinces her to stay behind as he chases the queen’s most closely-held secret. While he’s spent years searching in vain for the key to controlling Vanatia’s dragons, he risks losing both his beast and his mate if he fails this time. Resolved to pay any price to protect Astarot, Sifa accepts the monarch’s charge and hunts for a wild dragon to tame. Fhord’s chasing answers in Vanatia, desperate to gather essential allies to wrest Tindera, and everyone else, from the queen’s grip. Can Sifa and Fhord survive long enough to find the fighters they’ll need to save his dragon and liberate Vanatia from perpetual tyranny? Frenzied Fate is the thrilling second book in the fantasy romance series, Tales of the Vanir. With breathtaking battles, sexy banter and sizzling spice, riders and their dragons fight for the right to be free. Frenzied Fate has an HFN ending with a mild cliffhanger, and will appeal to readers of Fourth Wing (Rebecca Yarros), Crescent City (Sarah J. Maas) and When the Moon Hatched (Sarah A. Parker). Author's Frenzied Fate has dark elements, including violence and graphic torture of people and dragons, as well as sexual assault and depravity (but not between the main characters), and genocide (of elves). It includes open-door spice and frequent profanity.
Author
Rochelle Wilcox was born and raised in Las Vegas, where she learned at an early age the value of fantasy and escape. Raised by a single mom—one of the first women trained to deal poker in the early 70's—Rochelle spent more time in casinos than most adults. She and her husband decided to leave the desert behind and raise their sons in Northern California, where they spent as much time on the water with their boys as they could. Despite her lifelong passion for story-telling, Rochelle's path took her to law school and then to a practice focused on media law and appeals. But her love of writing wasn't sated with briefs bound by legal principles and a fealty to facts. And so she set to paper the story that had been playing in her mind for years, based on the Norse mythology she loved as a child. Rochelle retired from her legal practice in 2022 to travel and write. She released her first book, Lost Long, Book I of The Road to Ragnarök, in 2012, and the rest of that four-book series in 2022. Book IV, Heavy Heart, was named N. N. Light's Book Heaven's Best Romantic Fantasy of 2022, and it was one of three finalists for Best Indie Book of 2022. Her current series, Tales of the Vanir, is fully drafted and will be rapid-released in 2025, starting with Sacred Struggle on May 22. The remaining three books in this series will be released every five weeks: Frenzied Fate on June 26; Divine Dilemma on July 31; and Mythical Menace on September 5.
