Description
In a realm where society is ranked by the magic they wield, the elite are known as the Fate Blessed, the middle class as the Fate Gifted, and the powerless as the Forgotten.
Storm, the First Commander of the army. He is admired and feared in equal measure. His instructions are executed without question, exactly to his liking. Engulfed in a relentless battle against a Dark Mage, Storm has no room for complications. His life was perfectly adequate; until she walks in, then suddenly his previously orderly existence is plunged into turmoil.
Feylin, bearing forbidden magic and surrounded by those with powerful abilities, must stay hidden to survive. Her initial admiration for Storm quickly transforms into a burning hostility, revealing that emotions can be as dangerous as any spell. With powerful forces plotting her downfall, Feylin must navigate a perilous path to protect her heart, her secrets, and her life, or risk losing everything.
Fans of "A Court of Thorns and Roses," "The Name of the Wind," and "The Priory of the Orange Tree" will be captivated by this tale of power, passion, and peril.
Perfect for readers who crave strong heroines, forbidden magic, and heart-pounding suspense. Get your copy today and dive into this epic fantasy brimming with magic, romance, and adventure.

Sought By Fate takes you deep into a world where magic isn't just power—it's the foundation of society itself. The Fate Blessed rule while the Forgotten languish, creating a stark backdrop for the story of Storm, the revered First Commander, whose life turns chaotic with the arrival of Feylin. She’s a fugitive with forbidden magic, whose very presence threatens to unravel both their lives. The dance of their relationship, amid a war with a Dark Mage, makes for a thrilling read. I loved how the author masterfully wove tension and emotion, making each page a fight between duty and desire. It’s one of those books that pulls you in and doesn’t let go until the very last page.

🌟 "Hold onto your hats, because Sought By Fate is going to take you on a wild ride! 🎩✨ Storm’s got it all—command of the army, respect of his troops, and a life so ordered, a librarian would be jealous. Then bam! In walks Feylin, magic so forbidden it’s practically a tabloid headline, and suddenly Mr. Perfectly-Planned is Mr. Perfectly-Panicked. Their fiery clash is as explosive as any spell in their world. This book? It’s a heart-pounding rollercoaster of emotions and magic that you just can’t miss. Grab it, read it, love it—I sure did! 📚💥

It’s sooo fast paced and easy to read. No crazy world building or boring back storylines. Right to the action and it’s damn good. An excellent introduction to a "can't put down until I finish the whole book" kind of series.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book and honestly I'm glad I had no expectations because this book could not so easily be described. It is short, but it blew me away. This is a first for this author for me . I am so eager for the next book

OMG, this book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! My emotions were all over the place—one moment I was furious, and the next I was laughing out loud. The character building is fantastic, and the writing is truly exceptional. I absolutely love this book!
I wish it hand been longer. It does end on a cliffhanger, so be prepared to dive into the next installment. If you’re looking for a page-turner with incredible character development, engaging plot twists, and top-notch writing, this is the book for you. I highly recommend it!

"Sought by Fate" is a captivating romantasy that centers around the intriguing concept of fated mates—a bond so strong that rejecting a mate can have dire consequences. When Storm painfully rejects Feylin, she faces a race against time to tether herself to someone else to survive.
If you’re drawn to intense, fated romance and are looking for a quick, engaging read (just 143 pages!), this book is for you!
THE WRITING:
The writing shines with beautifully crafted descriptions that bring the story to life. The vivid imagery and heartfelt moments make for an enjoyable reading experience.
THE PLOT
The plot focuses primarily on the romance between Storm and Feylin and their fated bond. The story moves at a brisk pace, which may appeal to readers who enjoy a more immediate and fast-paced narrative. While the world-building and character development are more straightforward, this approach makes it a perfect read for those looking for a light, entertaining story.
I enjoyed every moment of this.

Absolutely yes! Is there any news on the sequel? Because I need it yesterday!
This book is wonderful, I finished it in one sitting! It's writing is addictive, the banter is fantastic and the world building and magic system are easy to understand!
I have to admit, one little thing that annoyed me a bit, is that I kept on reading Feylin as Feyre. And I thought her to be rash and reckless at times, but it worked quite well in the story. Now we wait and see what adventures and/or problems she'll find herself in next!

SOUGHT BY FATE is an exhilarating start to a new fantasy romance book that does a pretty good job at blending elements of fated mates, enemies-to-lovers, and the traditional tropes we all know and love. This Advanced Reader Copy captivated me from the very first page, and I do think its comparison to ACOTAR is spot-on, although I think there are a bunch of books currently with similar themes (and we still read and love them).
The story follows a thrilling and intricate plot where fate, magic, and romance collide. Our protagonist, caught in a web of destiny and conflict, finds herself entangled with a formidable and equally stubborn love interest. The enemies-to-lovers trope is seen regularly, with sharp, witty dialogue and a palpable tension that keeps the pages turning.
What sets SOUGHT BY FATE apart from other books similar to ACOTAR is its seamless integration of humor into the narrative. The banter between the main characters is not only entertaining but also adds depth to their interactions, making their evolving relationship feel all the more genuine and engaging. The author’s ability to infuse levity into intense moments enhances the reading experience and makes the characters’ journey even more enjoyable.
Overall, SOUGHT BY FATE: Book 1 is a good read that combines romance, fantasy, and humor. It’s a perfect blend for those who enjoy a captivating fated mates story with a dose of playful banter and a touch of magic. Would I pick it up at the store just for the beautiful cover art alone? Yes. But now knowing the story, I would also recommend it to friends.
