Synopsis

SERVE OR DIE That is the only rule. High in the mountains, a prison disguises as a Citadel where Chosen girls are raised stripped of family and identity until they come of age and ascend to be bound in service. But not all survive the path. Eira has never fit in. With her short hair, defiant spirit and a secret friend, she is counting the days until Vilhelm meets her Outside. He is her only chance at freedom and a life beyond the walls. When everything goes wrong, she realizes the real danger isn’t the masters who watch her every move. It is the girls who are willing to see her die. A Tale of Fate and Fury is a Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers romantic fantasy featuring a magic system that turns girls into witches and men into massive hot trolls and a forbidden love between a commoner and a hidden heir with a slow burn so SLOW it will ruin you before they even kiss.
