Fatewoken

"Over here, trespasser."

"I am no trespasser," I replied, crossing my arms around myself as if they could shield me from this dream.

"No?" he mused. "If not a trespasser, then a thief?" He took my palm, brutally cold fingers tracing across the sigil. The feeling was searing and throbbing all at once. Dangerous. "I don't remember giving this away freely."

********************************************************

There is no greater privilege than to wear the title of FATEWOKEN-a mortal who serves as a divine mouthpiece for one of the Gods living across the veil.

As the only Fatewoken to Alistair, Lord of the Sun, Gemma Fowler knows her place: perform her devotions, keep her village temple in good order, and act in whatever capacity her God sees fit. She's the only human who can see or touch him, and the entire kingdom is counting on her to keep him happy.

Her life is unspooling exactly how Fate ordained it.

Until a vengeful God poisons her little brother. Until she vows to join the royal hunt and win the favor of the Goddess of Healing. Until she starts losing time and memories. Until a near-death experience at sea throws her directly into the path of Killian, the brooding and reclusive God of the Depths who hasn't taken a Fatewoken in centuries.

Until she enters into a second, impossible fated bond with him.

Suddenly, Gemma's perfect life is in tatters. After learning that Killian considers Alistair his immortal enemy, she vows to keep him a secret until she can find a way to fix things-but the bond between them is not only igniting a whirlwind of feelings, it's also pulling them together in the secret spaces of her dreams.

As the hunt turns deadly and the clock to save her brother ticks down, Gemma is torn between the God she's always loved and the one whose waters she might just drown in.

FATEWOKEN is book one in a planned trilogy perfect for fans of fated bonds, forced proximity, royal quests, grumpy x sunshine, and a fresh new world that will send your heart spinning.
