Wings of Fate

After months in exile, Zaydah is back in Vulcanis. As far as punishments go, uninterrupted time travelling with her best friends wasn’t so hard to bear. But returning to Vulcanis carries its own problems. Her association with Brev will easily brand her as a traitor; her closeness with him is well known, as is his betrayal.

She’ll need to earn back her captain’s trust, but even more important is the prince’s. Zaydah has no desire to be near Prince Aris, but she can’t deny the continual pull he exerts. The pull to become his Shield is strong yet impossible at the same time. The tie between them would become irrevocable. She’ll do anything to maintain her freedom and not be bound to him for life. So why does it bother her that he’s as against the bond as she is?

Far more dangerous are the messages that arrive from Brev. She’s supposed to stay on a straight and narrow path, never crossing the line into deceiving her captain, but she’s in a better position than anyone to discover what Brev is doing with the Tiberians.

Fate can’t be denied, but if Zaydah keeps too many secrets, she could lose everything.
