When Anya looks into the Mirror of Death at her small town’s annual Fate Festival, she expects to see what she always sees: a long and peaceful life in the community she loves. But this year, she sees a stranger: strong, handsome, and Fated to drown her.

When she finds herself convicted of her own future crime, Anya embarks on a dangerous quest to the capital to clear her name—only to be attacked by a monster that shouldn’t exist, and rescued by the very man destined to murder her.

Idris is a knight of a secret order, now duty-bound to escort Anya to her trial. As they face terrifying monsters, assist quirky townsfolk, and share a tiny tent together, Idris and Anya find themselves drawing inexplicably closer. But when enemies from Idris’s past drag Anya into a world of cutthroat criminals and sordid politics, Idris fears he’ll be the end of her, after all.

As desire, duty, and dark conspiracies thrust Anya and Idris into a world of intrigue and danger, they’ll have no choice but to tempt their disastrous Fate.
