The Fated Mage

Paulo's plans are falling to pieces. His secrets may cost him everything, including the woman he loves. Paulo MacGregor cares for nothing besides changing Laurel's future and convincing her to trust him. After the rebels took the capital, fleeing to Iatrus Castle, his home, becomes the only option. But even there, fate refuses to bend. Laurel's mistrust only deepens, and the pasts they've both tried to outrun are closing in. With the rebels marching on Iatrus Castle, Paulo is running out of time...and running out of ways to keep Laurel safe without losing her completely. Laurel Flumen absolutely cannot trust Paulo. If he had never involved himself in her life, she would never have betrayed Aspen, never been trapped in the cursed kingdom of Olympia, and never found herself on this side of a war she never wanted to fight. But Paulo has a way of getting under Laurel's skin, of making her question everything she thought she knew. Of making her want things she cannot afford. And when the rebels arrive, Laurel will have to decide: trust the man who ruined her life, or lose the only future she might still have. In this epic conclusion, Paulo and Laurel must come together to defeat not only the rebellion trying to tear down the kingdom but to change the very strings of fate itself. Perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer, Holly Black, and Kristin Cashore.
