From J. Bree, bestselling author of The Bonds That Tie, comes the second installment in her epic and enthralling romantasy series.
In our arrogance, the high fae forgot everything that mattered.
I carved out a reputation as the Savage Prince with my brutality against witches, but unable to wield our magic, I couldn’t stop my kingdom from being torn apart by war and famine while the Fates demanded my patience.
The worst was still to come.
After almost a thousand years of waiting and thousands of witches dead by my hand, the Fates revealed their cruelest truth yet.
With silver eyes that sliced to the bone and a humility that defied all reason, the witch has tested every inch of my restraint, but that was only the beginning.
Everything I once knew as true has come into question.
Loyalties will be tested, treaties broken, treason committed, and only the strongest will survive.
I am Prince Soren Celestial.
The rightful heir to the throne of the Southern Lands.
Nothing will keep me from my Fates-blessed mate.
Not even her hatred for me.
The series
In The Mortal Fates, destiny is never a gift—it’s a burden. In this dark and immersive fantasy series, the world itself is a realm of magic, danger, and fragile alliances. As powerful fae and witches struggle for control, the fates of its inhabitants are sealed long before their births. Yet, for those who dare to defy it, destiny is not a road to follow but a path to carve.
Read full series description
At the heart of this saga is Rookesbane "Rook" Eveningstar, a witch with a past as dark and complex as the magic that runs through her veins. She returns to her homeland after years of serving a king who wasn’t hers, only to find a kingdom torn apart by war and riddled with the same dangerous secrets she tried to escape. But Rook is more than just a survivor—she is bound to a power that neither she nor her enemies fully understand. With each step, she discovers that her fate is inextricably linked to a prince who has every reason to despise her kind.
Prince Soren Celestial, heir to the Southern Lands, carries the weight of his kingdom’s wrath against witches. Known for his ruthless methods, he is a man whose destiny has been shaped by his duty, his past, and his hatred for the very beings he’s destined to be bound to. But when fate demands he share a future with Rook, a bond neither of them can escape, he is thrust into a world of deceit, magic, and a love he never sought.
As their journey unfolds, the lines between ally and enemy blur. The complex world-building of The Mortal Fates sets the stage for an epic clash of power, politics, and forbidden love. With ancient prophecies, dark magic, and political intrigue around every corner, the characters must navigate their pasts, confront the choices that will shape their world, and decide if they can rewrite their fates.
Through every page, the series weaves themes of identity, sacrifice, and the never-ending struggle for freedom against forces greater than any one person. It’s a journey of self-discovery, of battling forces both internal and external, and finding the courage to embrace love even when it’s the last thing you expect.
For those drawn to high-stakes fantasy, The Mortal Fates offers a story that’s as thrilling as it is unpredictable—one where destiny is never truly decided until the final moment. Will Rook and Soren break free from the chains of fate, or will they succumb to the power that binds them? The answer lies hidden, waiting to be revealed.
