Wheel of Fate by A.K. Faulkner (Inheritance #10)

The wheel turns. Laurence figured he'd be planning his wedding as soon as he got home from the desert; instead he's pulled away from his fiancĂ© to track down Rufus' missing mom. Worse, the last person he'd ever want help from is on his side, and Laurence can't afford to say no. Surrounded by strands of fate that rapidly became a web, Laurence's only hope is to aim for the spider at its heart, but Vincent Harrow has been weaving it since before Laurence was born. ​​​​​​​Trapped between two evils, neither of which are lesser, Laurence is about to discover that there really are fates worse than death.

Blurb

When the Vulkari raid her village and claim her as their own, Zyntael Fairwinter sees a dark future ahead of her. Unless she can harness the burning will within her to make her escape, she sees only misery, servitude, and despair.

But the hound-headed monsters who stole Zyntael away see a whole lot more in that darkness and that will. They see strength. They see sisterhood. And most importantly, they see hope.

As the warring Domovoi Empires turn their gaze toward the untamed lands of the Vulkari Wilds, as they seek to turn the monsters and Magicks within them into weapons of war, Zyntael will find herself faced with a choice: Seek refuge from her captors in the rigid society of the conquering Domovoi, or embrace the darkness, embrace the wild within herself, and turn that burning will towards a truer freedom than a mere escape to a mundane life could ever offer her.

Steeped in dark Slavic myth, woven in threads of hope and humour, and telling a human story with not a single human upon it's pages, Daughter of the Beast is a rich and unique fantasy coming-of-age story.


Author Bio

Born in the UK, but raised in New Zealand on a diet of American fantasy, Ed Greaves doesn't much mind which spelling and grammar you choose, as long as the story is good.

And when it comes to writing his own gritty Slavic folklore inspired stories, he also maintains that Grindark is not, in fact, a typo.

You can follow him on twitter (not X, dammit) at @GreavesEC, or check out www.ecgreaves.com for more.
