Fate and FortuneThe Gateway Saga, Book 3
In FATE AND FORTUNE, the third volume in The Gateway Saga, every desperate gamble only serves to bring the world one step closer to ruin.
Samara’s story is far from over. Nothing is more dangerous than a spurned former empress with powerful new allies, willing to risk everything to reclaim the greatest prize of all.
Consumed by vengeance, Anthea Conway’s fragile position is jeopardized as she works in exile to destroy Julian and Zhuana—and fulfill her late brother’s dream of saving the empire.
But unknown to her, Kendrick is alive and well, and finds himself in a forgotten land, where he will have to work with Bethany, Xander, and Charlton to survive and somehow find a way home.
Bethany uncovers a secret society manipulating this strange new world from the shadows. But the greatest threat is yet to come… and stopping it may prove impossible.
With Zhuana focused on confronting the peril in the south, it is up to Julian to keep the empire together, even as it fractures beyond recognition.
Darkness is coming. But it is the quest for power that takes precedence.
