For lovers of Tamora Pierce's Tortall series who want that magic as an adult, Unrivaled is a story about embracing your feminine rage, navigating forbidden love, and claiming your power. For readers of Robin Hobb and From Blood and Ash.
War keeps the Butcher at bay; there is work to do.
Accustomed to shrinking herself to survive, Audrey must shed the lessons of her childhood if she has any hope of holding back the chaos that looms in the wake of the plague. She has no legal claim to the power she must weild, and her actions defy both her father and the laws of the locways...but her people need a leader, and she is the only one brave enough to risk the Duke's retribution.
"The only peace worth protecting is our own." ~ Matri'sion proverb
Refusing to play the pawn, Audrey strives to mold the city anew from the ashes—without losing herself in the process. Bolstered by a veteran who will protect her at all costs, a dark and brooding knight, and the rage of a warrior disguised as her handmaiden, she seeks friends and alliances. Her peace is fragile, and time is slipping away.
When the Duke brings down the axe, will she be ready?
Fate Untethered is a fantasy quartet for readers who love a spicy romance sub-plot, loathe the patriarchy, and understand that survival is not enough.
