Calliope Rosewood is a witch with a long streak of bad luck. Like all witches in Illustros, her fate is directly tied to Witch' s Dice - powerful artifacts that have blessed her kind with limitless magic but also set them on a path toward destruction. Cursed with unspeakable powers that terrify even the most dangerous witches and fae, Calla deserted her coven four years ago and has been in hiding with her two best friends since. But Calla is also hiding a grave secret: She is only three Rolls away from becoming the last Blood Warrior and starting the Fates' War that will decimate her people and eradicate their magic. After a betrayal from her ex leads her one step closer to fulfilling that age-old prophecy, Calla is desperate to do whatever it takes to reset her fate. . . even if that means journeying into the deadly Neverending Forest with said ex and his enigmatic older brother to find the one being who can help her forge her own path. As Calla ventures farther into the enchanted woods
"A spellbinding debut brimming with adventure, romance, and loveable characters you' ll gladly follow into the shadows of their vivid world. The stakes couldn' t be higher, and the twists are as unpredictable as a roll of the dice. "--Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Lore "A Ruinous Fate is filled with fantasy tropes you know and love, made all the richer with a diverse cast of magical beings. A story about the power of defying fate and fighting for the ones you love, this action-packed fantasy adventure and high stakes roll of the dice is like playing Dungeons Dragons with your best friends! I' m at the edge of my seat until book two!"--Aiden Thomas, New York Times best-selling author of Cemetery Boys and Lost in the Never Woods "With an unforgettable cast and stratospherically high stakes, A Ruinous Fate is a lush debut that explores what it means to take control of your own destiny despite the cards, or dice, you' ve been given. Smith expertly weaves swoon-worthy romance into an action-packed plot, and readers will root for Calla to choose herself and change her fate. --Andrea Hannah, author of Where Darkness Blooms A page turning debut that' s sure to delight, A Ruinous Fate is a whimsical, action-packed thrillride. Kaylie Smith' s richly imagined world and lively cast of characters will leave readers transported and begging for the sequel. --Adrienne Tooley, author of Sweet & Bitter Magic
