One Prince. One Witch. One Fate.
The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish … bled.
Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: his death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead. Stunned by the revelation, the man I now knew as Prince Tauren disappeared into a night I feared he wouldn’t survive. The following day, I received an invitation to the castle. While it seemed the prince believed I could intervene and uncover who was plotting his death, his motives didn’t stop there. I was being summoned to join twelve other women in vying for the opportunity to be his wife and future queen.
Going could mean jeopardizing my plans to reclaim my heritage and resurrect the House of Fate. But staying would guarantee Tauren’s death, and the blood of his wish would be on my hands.
One King. One Witch. One Fate.
This was an incredible story!! Can you imagine having the power to know ones fate and go through with it? To me, that would be a scary 😑. I just don't think I could do it...
The characters in this story were phenomenal. I absolutely loved reading about Sable and Tauren. These were an amazing couple and together, they made an unforgettable team. Fate for sure was working on their side in this story.
The story-line magnificent. I really couldn't put this book down because I HAD to know what was going to happen next!! And I was shocked by the ending and I am hoping there is another story coming soon. Bond really outdid herself this time with this story of romance and fantasy!! BRAVO!! I highly recommend this read!!
