Description

From #1 Amazon bestselling author Robyn Abbott comes the first release in a devastating, sprawling epic fantasy series.

Lover. Soothsayer. Harbinger.

On an island where dreaming is forbidden, and prophecy is punishable by death, Mira is a Goldkeeper—trained from a young age to guard a nobleman’s wealth, bear his heirs, and surrender any daughters she might have to the ruthless order that raised her.

But when a chance encounter with a raider from across the sea means Mira is mistaken for a prisoner in need of rescue, she’s spirited away to a floating city.

Its king promises to secure Mira’s passage home if she’ll read his fortune first.

While Mira learns the heretical art of rune casting to uphold her end of the bargain, she finds herself drawn to the lighthearted raider who liberated her in error. He’s everything she was warned about: a thief, a heathen, and an impossibly beautiful temptation. Loving him would make her a traitor to her order.

As Mira’s disappearance sets her homeland on a path to violence and ancient powers begin to stir, Mira will have to decide if fate is something to obey or something to defy. Her heart, and the future of kingdoms, hangs in the balance.

A viking-inspired fairy tale rife with prophecies, court intrigue, and heart-wrenching forbidden love, OF WIND AND FATE is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Knight and the Moth, and The Priory of the Orange Tree.
