Synopsis:

The Gem

Marked by the Gods, Kya is forced to partake in a Trial for a chance to be deemed Worthy. If she succeeds, she’ll be gifted great powers. If she fails, she could lose her life or worse. But that’s only the start of her worries. Now, the same plague that took her home is spreading and threatening the fate of the realm. Can Kya survive the Trial of the Gods and gain the needed power to rid the world of the growing threat before it’s too late? Or will she be drawn to what awaits her in the shadows?

The Shadow

Ryker has waited a long time for her—his mate. Now he’s found her. He plans to claim what is rightfully his, but dark forces threaten to destroy his Nation should he embrace the bond he so desperately desires. Unable to escape the drive to be near her, he waits for his precious gem, lingering in her shadow.

Review & thoughts:

Worthy of Fate is the first book in a Fantasy Romance series and I can’t believe it’s a debut book, it’s so well-written and complex and just simply incredible, I couldn’t put it down and I absolutely loved it. 

I’m not going to say much about the plot because I think it’s best to go into this book blind, but believe me when I say it has everything we love in fantasy romance genre and more. There is a fascinating world and magic system, deadly competition, morally grey characters, forbidden fated mates with slow burn romance and so much action with many plot twists and heartbreaking cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more, this book was everything I was hoping for and I already can’t wait for the next one. 

I absolutely adored our main characters, Kya and Ryker. Kya was a really strong, complex and interesting FMC and it was amazing to see her grow in this book and explore her powers, she was a badass and I can’t wait to see her again. When it comes to Ryker… he was definitely a morally grey MMC and quickly joined the list of my favorite shadow daddies, but what I loved most about him was how gone he was for Kya since the first time he saw her (and probably even earlier lol). It was definitely a case of ‘he fell first’ and I loved reading his thoughts about her and how he always wanted to be there for her and support her and how proud of her he always was. These two were absolutely amazing together and I loved their slow burn forbidden romance, they were willing to do anything for each other and once they finally gave in to their attraction they were truly explosive. I loved them and already miss them, after THAT ending I’m desperate to know how their story continues ASAP! 

Worthy of Fate is an amazing fantasy romance book and a perfect debut from an author I already know will became one of my favorites. I absolutely loved it and definitely recommend it to everyone and can’t wait for book 2!
