A LOST PRINCESS. A FORGOTTEN BLOODLINE. A WAR THAT COULD UNMAKE THE GODS.
Alira Verbrandt never wanted a crown—only the quiet pursuit of knowledge. But when the ruthless Illyrian Empire marches on her homeland, the princess of Namelle is forced into a war that began long before her time.
On the eve of invasion, Alira discovers a dangerous truth: she is a Fate, the heir of a divine bloodline tied to ancient power and prophecy. Hunted for what she is and burdened with what she must become, Alira must unite others like her to awaken a rebel god—their last hope against annihilation.
But even the gods have something to fear. An ancient prophecy stirs, warning of their creator's return—and with him, a final judgment that could erase both mortals and immortals alike.
The Waking of Storm and Flame is the spellbinding first book in The Fates of Aten, a sweeping epic fantasy series by debut author N.A. Betts. Perfect for fans of the mythic intrigue in A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen and the elemental magic of M.L. Wang's The Sword of Kaigen, this is a story of destiny, rebellion, and the price of power.
