A Tempest of Wind and Fate
Her storm has broken free. He is the only one who can contain it.
River Waterborn is cursed. She has always known it, but her fears are confirmed when she loses control of her storm again. She is a bringer of death. Even though she tried to run from fate, it caught up with her.
And now, River is broken. Deeply. Permanently. Or so she thinks.
Nikhail Galebringer has spent years denying his draw to River, thinking she would be better off without him. She's his best friend's sister, after all.
But when River's storm hits, Nikhail drops everything to go to her side. She needs him, and he won't let anything keep them apart any longer.
River is wading through darkness, lost in her grief, but Nikhail vows to remain by her side no matter what. After all, she deserves the stars, and he will do whatever it takes to ensure she sees them once more.
A Tempest of Wind and Fate is the second book in the next duology in The Choosing Chronicles. This duology should be read after A Game of Love and Betrayal, and A Heart of Desire and Deceit.
There will be three duologies in total.
