The Fates Beyond Us

"Book Two in the Ruins Beneath Us series. After years of hiding, Lyria is desperate to prove a capable member of the resistance. Branded a traitor, she carries a secret even the rebels refuse to reveal: she is the prophisized Heir of Evermore, foretold to forge a new life for the Elves. But when a rescue mission meant to showcase her leadership spirals into disaster, Lyria's future as a savior is thrown into peril as a forbidden magical connection surfaces that binds her to Prince Finn-the boy who betrayed her and heir to the ruthless empire she's sworn to destroy. Determined to reclaim her destiny, Lyria embarks on a journey to challenge the prophecy that chains her. Each step north uncovers a gauntlet of betrayals, godstones pulsing with ancient power, and a sinister queen whose ability to invade minds exposes the terrifying truth about Lyria's gift. As loyalties are tested and enemies masquerade as allies, Lyria must decide where her heart truly belongs. Is it with Cygnus, the steadfast healer whose strength has become her anchor, or Finn, the prince desperate for redemption? The epic that began in The Ruins Beneath Us concludes in The Fates Beyond Us as Lyria choices define her fate: rebel, royalty, or ruin"--
