Germain delivers once again in the second installment of the Compelling Fates Saga. Lessia is still reeling from the heartbreak of Loche Discovering her secrets, but she knows the fight is far from over. Now, her journey takes a more epic turn. But this time, she’s not just fighting for her own freedom, but for countless others as well. 

Teaming up with some unexpected allies and familiar faces, Lessia must rise against King Rioner. But amidst the chaos, she finds an unexpected connection with the darkly captivating Death Whisperer, Merrick. A twist that adds an even more depth to her already emotional path. 

Poor Lessia can’t seem to catch a break. Just when it seems she’s overcome one heartache, she’s thrust into an even more dangerous world beyond the kingdom’s walls. She remains a fierce and hauntingly brave heroine who pulls at your heartstrings, and yes, the spice is a perfect addition. 

Germain ends this book with another stunning cliffhanger that perfectly sets the stage for book three. I cannot wait to see where the story goes next!
