Synopsis:
An ancient prophecy.
A destiny of flame.
A war to end two worlds…
A dark prophecy binds Cora’s fate to the fae realm—a world that would have been her doom if she hadn’t escaped with her life. Now she’s determined to put destiny behind her and focus on her world, her kingdom, and her much-anticipated wedding.
But when dragons emerge from the veil between worlds, threatening her land with deadly flame, she must return to the fae and make allies of those who had once condemned her to die.
Yet dragons and fae are the least of her foes. Her greatest enemy marches on her kingdom, and he won’t stop until he controls fae magic. Fate and fire collide, but Cora isn’t alone. She, Teryn, Mareleau, and Larylis each have a role to play in protecting two realms from an ancient king who can walk between worlds.
When the dust clears and the ashes settle, will the embers of hope remain?
A Fate of Flame is the final book in the Prophecy of the Forgotten Fae trilogy. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Air Awakens, and Shadow and Bone. If you like breathtaking magic, fierce heroines, and slow burn romance, then you’ll love this epic fantasy tale.
A Fate of Flame is an upper YA/NA fantasy that contains some violence and gore, moderately steamy romance, and adult situations such as pregnancy, childbirth, motherhood, and marriage.
NOTE: A Fate of Flame is based on an older version of the book, Shades of Prophecy. This updated edition has been fully rewritten and includes some plot changes, name changes, and other modifications from the original. The original edition has been unpublished.
Review:
I absolutely devoured the first two in this series but found this to be a little harder to fall into. That may be because when I did let myself fall into it I couldn’t get out and just wanted to read just one more chapter repeatedly. It was great to see Teryn and Cora continue to build and grow their relationship, and Valorre was as adorable and perfect as ever. I quite enjoyed seeing how Teryn and Cora constantly had to put their kingdom’s first and their relationship second. I enjoyed seeing Mareleau develop further and show that while she may be able to pretend she is always fine, sometimes she is not, and that is okay. Cora has to work hard to prove to herself that she is compassionate and a good friend. All in all, there was a lot of growth from Mareleau, Larylis, Teryn, Cora and Valorre. The ending was absolutely bittersweet, but Cora, Teryn, and Valorre will always have a little bit of my heart.
