Her magic is a mess. Her fighting? Even worse. Maelis has spent her life hiding a forbidden gift in a realm where magic is outlawed. Bound by duty to her family and a fate she never chose, she’s spent years following rules written by others. Being a God comes with perks. Touch-starvation isn’t one of them. Auretheos, God of Wisdom and Cunning, is sworn to purity. Chained to an ancient prophecy, his destiny lies in silence, solitude, and sacrifice. The last thing he needs is a stubborn, enticing and utterly chaotic mortal with a mind of her own. But when a rising force of zealotry threatens to consume both divine and mortal realms, only the unlikely bond between Theo and Maelis can stop it. Love wasn’t part of the plan, but destiny doesn’t care about plans. In a world where even the Gods are bound, The Spell of Us Do we shape Fate, or does Fate shape us?
