Fated - by John J Dougherty (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Two princes.

Two souls destined to fall in love.

A curse that will end the world if they do.

The fallen goddess Gilgamine and her pantheon were cast down by The Divine. Desperate to reclaim the heavens, she searched for a way to destroy His grand design. Her only glimpse into that design revealed two souls destined to fall in love.

Unable to break a bond protected by fate itself, she poisoned it instead.

Now, whenever those soulmates touch in true love, her ancient curse will awaken and unleash devastation across the world.

In this age, those souls have returned as Prince Aiden Alcrest of Vira and Prince Everett Velmonte of Lacelus.

Aiden longs for a life beyond palace walls and endless royal obligations. Everett has dedicated himself to faith, duty, and service to The Divine. Though separated by kingdoms, politics, and expectation, fate pulls them toward one another.

As old gods stir, kingdoms clash, and dark forces move from the shadows, Aiden and Everett are drawn into a conflict far larger than themselves. To save humanity, they must confront the curse that binds them and stop an ancient evil from ascending.

But every step they take toward each other brings the world closer to catastrophe.

They are faced with an impossible choice: deny their fated love and protect The Divine, or embrace it and watch mankind fall to ruin.

Fated is an epic fantasy adventure filled with magic, gods, sacrifice, found family, and a slow-burn romance at the heart of an impossible choice.
