The winds of fate are shifting, and it finally seems like they've been twisted in our favour.
On the run and cast out from society, we've been forced to hide from the mad man who stole our throne. But as more secrets come to light and my sister and I work harder than ever before to reach our potential and claim our birth right, the end is finally drawing closer.
There is no turning from this path now. The curse chases on our heels as time rushes by and the blood drenched destiny of the man I love looms ever closer just like the monster who stole our throne.
We must prepare for the final battle, but three things are clear now.
The cards have already been dealt.
Blood will spill for a new future to rise.
And the stars themselves can't help us.
The fight for the throne is upon us. All hail the heartless sky.
Orphans. Changelings. Princesses. Queens.
We are all and nothing now, our fate weighed on the scales of the stars and counterbalanced by the forces that oppose us.
The shadow of the false king spreads as thick as oil across the kingdom we were born to rule, and none remain untouched by its darkness.
Our crowns lay within reach if only we can claim them. All souls are at risk now and when the final battle dawns, a new regime will rise.
The time for the true reckoning is upon us and we have proven ourselves as savage as our father, as brutal as our mother, and as wild as the Elements which roar through our veins. We can only hope it is enough.
When the last sword strikes the final death in this game of fate and fortune, only one side will be victorious. The Starfall Legion charges at first light. And our destiny rides upon our shoulders as we rush into the end.
All hail the True Queens. May our rule last longer than this night.

The lost warriors are rising.
Montana:
Vengeance calls upon the wind. What Wolfe has done is unforgivable, and he'll pay for everything he has taken from us.
But after my choice was made at the ceremony, I'm now trapped with the prince I chose, and the path ahead is draped in peril. A wedding looms upon me, and if I can't find a way to escape, I will soon be a monster's bride.
Erik's promises fall like fire to ash, and I fear there's no way out now I've chosen a life of chains in payment for those broken vows.
But when the gods of old whisper of a new destiny, there may be hope in treading the dangerous road they've laid at my feet. Or perhaps this path is steeped in more danger than I've ever known.
Callie:
My choice has cost me everything. My will is bound, and my fate is no longer my own.
In my loss, I chose the bloody path of revenge, so now I must make the most of these gifts I've been offered.
My veins run thick with the power of the slayers, and uncovering each skill is like finding drops of sunlight in the darkest of nights. I must hold on to what these strengths can offer me, and not dwell on what they have taken.
Magnar and I are held apart by the gods, and my want for him is ruled by Idun herself.
We will never be together again, but I'll pay that price if it leads me back to my sister.
I just pray my heart can take another ruinous wound.
The gods play havoc with our souls.
Callie:
I'm torn in two.
The mark of the gods has bound me to my mortal enemy, and not even the most desperate yearnings of my heart can break this tie.
Between the slayer's vow and the cruel tricks of Idun, my free will has been stolen from me.
All I can hope for now, is that my sister and I can find a path to salvation, but it feels as though we're walking a path to our ruin instead.
Montana:
I made my choice, and there's no turning back.
The world has finally offered me the liberty I craved, so why does my heart keep begging me to return to the monster I left behind?
I sense a danger brewing on the horizon, something coming this way that we can't escape. And even as my thoughts settle on a faraway land where we can leave our hellish past behind for good, I fear it won't be that easy.
The games of the gods have only just begun.
***This is a dark, fantasy romance series by the authors of Zodiac Academy with all the enemies to lovers vibes - don't go expecting a sweet vampire with sparkling skin and a tendency to watch you sleeping. These vampires are savage and bloodthirsty, and the slayer who hunts them will stab first and ask questions later. This war-torn fantasy world is a brutal bi*ch and only those 18+ have a chance at surviving the darkness lurking between these pages. There's no well-meaning vampires snacking on Bambies instead of babies, and if they get their teeth into you, you'll be damn lucky to escape with your life and panties intact. So grab hold of your slayer blade (wooden stakes have too many splinters) and get ready to defy the gods, because this is going to be one helluva ride***
All paths lead to this end.
Callie:
Ruin chases close on our heels and the price we have paid for a chance at our salvation is higher than any of us could have presumed.
I have claimed a love so brutal that I fear losing it might destroy not just me but the world I have fought so desperately to save.
The gods watch us more closely than ever, urging us to fulfil the task our destiny demands. We only have to make it to the end of this road, but I fear what we might find when we reach that final destination.
Montana:
I am no longer the girl born to ruin and ash, but a woman set on a path of salvation with my heart in the clutches of a monster.
Our eyes are finally open to the true enemies of our kind and now that we have managed to unite against all odds, we are determined to see the games of the gods end.
Time is running out and fate calls our name on a tumultuous wind. Let's pray that we can answer it before damnation claims us all.
