Meru is broken.
Fate is bound.

The gods walk Elyria once more.

Six people–a general, a spy, a socialite, a Rune Master, a former slave, and a warrior–are all that stand between humanity’s freedom and the promise of the Second Sundering. In preparation for these final days, the Last Keeper and the final Truthsayer gathered visions and truths to create a chessboard with only one outcome—the death of the gods.

But what if the visions they received and interpreted were wrong—purposefully tainted by the very beings that created them? 

What if every decision they made played directly into the gods’ plans for total domination?

When unprecedented and unforeseen events begin to unfold across the continent, Fate has no choice but to intervene, sending his acolytes to create chaos and nudge his chosen Children in a direction that guarantees Elyria’s survival. But this divine intervention could spell disaster, especially when Lord Alois d’Refan sees his well-laid plans go awry, forcing him to redouble his efforts in an attempt to follow the meticulously laid plans he developed for nearly four decades.

Fate’s Children are caught in the middle; pushed in multiple directions by forces they cannot see and do not understand. Frustrations grow and tensions rise as long-buried secrets are revealed and ulterior motives exposed. Through it all, Fate’s six children must make impossible decisions.

Ellowyn d’Aelius balances on a knife’s edge–can she marry the man who killed her family in an attempt to create some stability in this chaos or are his sins too unforgivable?

Rohak d’Alvey’s faith in his lord and best friend wavers as he is continually left in the dark. When an unexpected travesty unfolds, Rohak must decide whether to live and forgo his beliefs or die for his convictions.

Faylinn’s lack of faith in Lord d’Refan causes her to seek answers in ancient tomes but what she finds could cause her own heartbreak.

Lex d’Talionis’ relationship with his Bonded rapidly deteriorates as his loyalty to Vespera is called into question and he must ultimately decide who is more important—the man who saved his life or one of his Bonds.

Folami’s thirst for vengeance against the man who permitted her slavery clouds her judgement and threatens tenuous alliances forcing her to choose between holding onto her justified rage and setting aside her personal grievances to see the rebellion succeed.

Torin d’Eshu made many mistakes over the course of his life and now must atone for his sins, but doing so could come at a great cost both to himself and Elyria.

The gods are here. War is coming. The Children of Fate must be united or Elyira will fall.
