A king, hero of prophecy, bound to his throne through lies. A witch, caught in a new world, fueled by revenge. Their love will destroy everything as they know it.
Roxanna Beaulieu’s life is a disaster: she’s a struggling grad student drowning in debt while her cheating trust fund boyfriend threatens her mom’s catering business to maintain her silence. But Roxanna is done biting her tongue when a freak accident at his family’s art gallery unleashes an ancient evil into their world, forcing Roxanna to traverse a dying, mysterious world to rescue her mother from a vengeful fallen god and his plague army.
Yalan Guvaria, the bloodthirsty yet revered king of Ethusica, knows that he’ll pay for the crimes he committed in his pursuit of power. When Roxanna crosses into Ethusica in a blaze of lightning and unleashes an evil he had already long since slain, his perfectly crafted legacy crumbles around him and only she can repair it.
As malevolent forces close in—and their contempt for one another evolves into a forbidden, fiery passion—Roxanna and Yalan must choose to either save each other or to fulfill their cursed, intertwined destinies.
But fate was never at their command to begin with.
If you’re a fan of Sarah J. Maas, Carissa Braodbent, Jennifer L. Armentrout, forced proximity, morally grey heroes, enemies-to-lovers, steamy romance, then you’ll love What Fate Commands!
