Abandoned by Fate

Books of the Bound Book One

Kalina "Kit" Arden is on the cusp of her twenty-sixth birthday and her third soul-bound Book, the one that will reveal her life's Purpose, has yet to appear. In Tierannova, sentient Books provide magic and act as a guide, determining the path each person is destined to follow, but Kit's powers remain dormant, and she fears they may never awaken. Intent to uncover the truth, she embarks on a perilous journey across the continent with her closest companions: a Shifter, a Healer, and Vandor, the infuriatingly charming man intent on winning her heart. Their quest leads to the great libraries of the realm, where ancient knowledge may hold the key to her awakening, but rogue Shifter packs prowl the forests, thieves stalk the trade routes, and whispers of what they seek stir trouble in unexpected places. As darkness closes in, Kit must claim her awakening and embrace a destiny entwined not only with Tierannova... but with the long-lost magic of the neighboring Fae realm.

From the Mouths of Babes

  • This book was just a really nice place to spend a few evenings. I found myself reaching for it whenever I had some quiet time because it was so easy to settle into. It had a really enjoyable flow, and I liked getting to spend time with these characters. I especially loved that I never felt rushed while reading. I could take my time, enjoy each chapter, and just let the story unfold naturally. When I finished, I closed my Kindle with a smile and thought, “That was a good one.”

  • This book was an absolute 5⭐️ read for me. I was sucked in from the first chapter and every chapter felt purposeful, with a good momentum that never fell flat.

    Heather

  • I loved this book from start to finish. From the characters to the world-building, everything is incredibly well thought out and detailed. I quickly identified with Kit and even found myself shedding a few tears. As someone who prides herself on always figuring out the ending in advance, this one caught me completely off guard. I never saw it coming, and I will definitely be buying book 2 to find out what happens next!

  • This was SO fun to read. It has that addictive romantasy quality where you sit down for a few chapters and suddenly realise you’ve read half the book.

    Rebecca

  • This novel will make you laugh, make you mad, bring you to the edge of your seat, and make you sink into your pillows with a silly smile on your face. The characters in this book will grab your attention and have you waiting not so patiently for more.

  • I’m completely blown away by this debut novel. The writing is incredible, the characters pull you in, and the adventure kept me hooked from start to finish. The world she created feels so imaginative and immersive, and I loved getting completely lost in it. And THAT ENDING. My jaw dropped, and now I desperately need to know what happens next. Such an impressive debut and an easy five stars. I cannot wait for book two!
