Description

Book One of the Fated Series

Fate stole his memory. Fate shattered her world. But fate’s cruelest trick is still to come.

Twenty-year-old Areya wakes in a jail cell with her mother’s blood on her hands—and no memory of how it got there.

Then he arrives.

Ash is a shadow made flesh. A weapon without a past, bound by a curse that erased every trace of who he once was.

He has one directive: deliver the girl to his king.

He's never questioned an order. He's never failed a mission.

He's never wanted to.

Areya is shattered—hollowed by grief, broken by loss. But there’s something electric in the space between them. A pull that cracks the edges of Ash’s carefully controlled silence.

Then she learns the truth that breaks what’s left of her: he’s the reason her mother is dead.

Now hatred is all she has. It’s the only thing stronger than her grief. The only thing keeping her breathing. She has nothing left but the burning need to survive long enough to make him pay.

But as fragments of Ash’s stolen memories begin to surface, the line between enemy and ally begins to blur.

The man who destroyed her life might be the only one who can save it.

And the girl he was ordered to deliver might be the key to breaking them both free.

Some truths cut deeper than any blade—and some choices can’t be undone.

A seductive fantasy debut perfect for fans of emotionally rich fated-mates romance, slow-burn intimacy, and high-stakes adventure.

A Note From the Publisher

Note to Reviewers:
Fated is an emotionally immersive fantasy romance about a girl waking up covered in blood—and the boy sent to deliver her to his king. It opens in a haze of grief, fragmented memory, and quiet danger—but builds into a layered, high-stakes world of magical politics, soul-bound romance, ancient powers, and mythic war.
If the opening feels disorienting… it’s meant to. Areya is unraveling. But the farther she falls, the more the world around her cracks open.
This is the start of a twisty, deeply romantic, plot-heavy saga that unfolds across multiple kingdoms, timelines, and realms.

Areya isn’t a typical heroine.
She was raised to look beyond the surface—to see why people do what they do.
Her strength isn’t in how loud she fights, but in how deeply she feels, and how fiercely she believes in the good still left in people.
This story explores empathy as resistance.
It’s for the soft girls. The ones who see too much. The ones who still choose love.

⚠️ Note: This is a fated-mates romance. The connection is instant, but love is earned.
(Think fate meets emotional payoff — not instant love, but something deeper that unfolds over time.)

⚠️ Don't skip the final bonus chapter—Ash's POV changes everything you think you know about the first half of the book.

Thank you so much for reading. 💙
