Fate of a Royal by Meagan Brandy and Amo Jones
Release Date: July 7, 2023
Genres: Romance, Paranormal, Fantasy
“You will go to Rathe University, live among the giftless and those of light magic. You, Knight Deveraux, will learn to coexist.”
I’ve never heard more wasted words in my life. Then again, the gifted counsel never did have much to say that wasn’t. The only members amongst them who speak a thing worth listening to are my parents, the King and Queen of the Stygian’s, the people of Dark Magic.
Unfortunately for me and my brothers, they’ve chosen to play nice instead of sinking their talons into anyone who dares demand a thing from their heirs. In this instance at least.
Every gifted is forced to leave our realm behind after graduation to spend the next four years in a world that isn’t ours, while pretending it’s enough for those with something deeper clawing beneath their skin.
It isn’t. Not by a long shot, and while it’s as boring as I thought it would be, we find ways to entertain ourselves.
A little Fae Dust, the power of persuasion, and it’s a party worthy of a royal … or four.
That was fun the first year, but it’s my second now, and the minute I got back to campus, I knew it would be worse than before. I felt it, that pull buried beneath my skin, the whisper of a warning deep in my mind I could hear but couldn’t reach.
It starts with a human party and ends with a fucking nightmare.
A five foot, white haired one.
With eyes like ice and a body begging to be bitten, she’s a problem.
A giftless one.
That’s right, she’s human.
Worthless.
And if the shadow circling my soul is telling me what I think it is … she belongs to it.
My new obsession … is my fated mate.
But there is no way the fates would give me, a Lord of Rathe, a heir to the throne of dark magic, a giftless girl.
I’ll prove they got it wrong.
That she’s not mine.
If I’m lucky, I’ll destroy her in the process.
My Review:
After being forced to live among the giftless while attending Rathe University, Knight Deveraux has had a hard time not being able to use his powers. But it’s his second year now and suddenly Knight has been filled with a rage that he can’t control. There is something different in the air, an energy that he can’t explain. That is until he sees her for the first time, a girl that keeps calling to him. He’s never been attracted to anyone as he is with London Crow. She is the only exception, until he finds out that she is his fated mate. A giftless human that he refuses to acknowledge, yet Knight soon finds out that the urge to make her his is a lot stronger. It would take a turn of events to truly change of course of their lives forever.
After ending her relationship with her cheating ex, London Crow is ready to move on. But soon finds herself meeting a mysterious stranger at a party that she can’t stop thinking about him.The energy between the two is magnetic, but just as she is ready to give into him, Knight keeps pulling away. London finds out soon enough about his world and the fact that she is his mate. But there are forces ready to keep pulling them apart, including a shocking secret that neither of them were expecting to find out.
Not having read any works by Meagan Brandy or Amo Jones before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Fate of a Royal. Needless to say, the overall idea was what intrigued me the most to this book, but it felt a little flat for me. I know this is the first book, so there is a lot of world building still to come. But the characters themselves didn’t pull in as much the premise did. There is lots of steamy moments in the story as well as twists that kept me reading until the end. It was unexpected and I’m definitely intrigued to find out what happens next. If you like a dark paranormal romance with a twist, then I would recommend checking out this book. (:
