About the Book: The Fates
Before Gods and mortals, there were The Fates… You’ve heard the legends: three sisters born from the darkness of Nyx, destined to weave the lives and deaths of humankind. But immortality is not without its burdens. Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos become fascinated by the mortal world below, especially the lives of the great warrior Atalanta and her doomed lover Meleager. Yet even as goddesses, they are not immune to destiny’s grip. Can the sisters find a way to change fate and free themselves from their eternal roles, or are they bound by the threads they weave forever?
Rich with mythology and gothic flair, The Fates is a compelling retelling of an ancient Greek myth, blending lyrical prose with timeless themes of love, loss, and destiny.
