A Fate so Dark and Delicate
With the impending threat of the invading Oakgards’ Fae, Elessia and her friends find themselves in a race to unite their fractured realm. But as Elessia grapples with the deadly implications of her newfound powers, she and Merrick discover a devastating truth: the price of her new gifts may force them to leave Havlands and their friends behind to face the looming war alone.
As Elessia and Merrick journey to Vastala in desperate search of answers, their friends must survive the brutal politics of a collapsing realm on their own. Bonds are tested, loyalties shift, and the lines between ally and enemy blur. And with fate at the door, they each must decide whether answering the call of destiny is worth facing the shadows that haunt them—all before it’s too late.

Sophia St. Germain
In the early morning hours before the tech world wakes up, Sophia St. Germain slips into a different realm, one woven with fae politics, cursed bloodlines, and doomed romance. Based in the United States by way of Sweden, France, Norway, and Belgium, her life has been shaped by movement, which might explain why her characters are always on the brink of flight, rebellion, or transformation.
Sophia didn’t set out to become a fantasy author. Her background is in technology, where logic and systems rule, but somewhere between writing code and troubleshooting bugs, stories started pressing in—stories too persistent to ignore. In 2024, she self-published Echo of Wings, a romantasy debut that introduced readers to a dying girl with vengeance in her heart and a maze full of dragons, guards, and secrets. Readers found themselves pulled into a world that felt ancient and alive, cruel and achingly human.
