A Fate So Cold by Amanda Foody

The start of a new blockbuster duology from the NYT bestselling authors behind All of Us Villains, Amanda Foody & C. L. Herman. A Fate So Cold will do for the chosen one trope what All of Us Villains did for death tournaments.

 

TWO CHOSEN ONES, ONE CHOICE: THE WORLD OR EACH OTHER.

In Alderland, nothing is feared more than Winter.

For six brutal weeks, Winter raged, destroying towns and claiming lives. Even after it ended, to shiver was a sign of bad luck.

Dom has witnessed the price of power firsthand and sworn never to seek it—but destiny has not granted him a choice. The most feared of Living Wands, Valmordion, has awakened and only disaster will follow. And when it chooses Dom to wield it, he is terrified.

Ellery Caldwell has spent a lifetime diligently striving to live up to all the expectations resting in her shoulders—and yet she’s relieved when Valmordion refuses her. But her comfort briskly fades when she accidentally creates the first Winter wand in existence, a feat no magician has accomplished in known memory.

Now, as the two most powerful magicians in Alderland, Domenic and Ellery are faced with the responsibility of discovering an apocalyptic cataclysm and thwarting it. Icy natural disasters, political unrest and forbidden romance complicates an already seemingly impossible task—and when they discover a darker truth, they’ll be forced to choose: the world, or each other.
