The Desire of Fate

Oriana wants one thing for her life, to be the first female general in Graten. Having her whole life planned out for her, Oriana is met with news that she will have to pick a suitor or risk her hand being forced. Not only is she being faced with the scrutiny of being a woman, Oriana must uncover the mysterious deaths plaguing her kingdom. With hope that the annual summer solstice trip will provide peace from the recent events, Oriana begins to strategize her plans to become all she desires. Except there is one issue-the prince of her enemy kingdom is attending this year.

Callan wants nothing more than to survive his father's reign, including following all of his orders no matter the cost. At the guidance of his father, Callan's hands are stained with the blood of countless lives-ultimately becoming numb to the deaths that surround him-and his father's next demand is the princess of his enemy kingdom.

Trying to fight the desire to gain control of their own lives, Oriana and Callan realize they have more in common than what breaches the surface. Despite prying eyes, one thing is for certain... You cannot fight fate.
