Rings of Fate





A prince. A curse. And a fate far more dangerous than falling in love. Princess Bride meets The Wheel of Time, in a swoon-worthy romantasy from a #1 New York Times bestseller

Every barmaid dreams of a prince. Aren just didn’t expect hers to be cursed, arrogant, and bleeding magical ruin all over her tavern floor.

Prince Dietan is brooding, entitled, and bound to the Rings of Fate - ancient magical relics that were never meant to touch human flesh. Now they’re killing him. Slowly. Spectacularly. And when Aren accidentally triggers one, she gets tied to the curse, too.

If he dies, so does the kingdom. If she walks away, she’ll take the magic - and half the realm - down with her.

Their only hope? Each other.
