What happens when power knows you before you know yourself, and still chooses you to die?

Seventeen-year-old Una Valled wants one thing: control over a life the surveillance city of Rohuncj has already priced in blood. Behind its drones and propaganda screens, magical beings are enslaved and The Cosmic Ones are bred for sacrifice to maintain the balance across dimensions.

When a forbidden gate tears open in a back alley, Una sees a single chance to escape, until she collides with two fugitives guarding a sealed chest of three fractured relics that can tip an approaching war. The sword whispers her name, promising power... and demanding a price no rebel should pay.

Hunted by the iron-fisted LawsCourted by an underground resistanceStalked by creatures born of legend

Una must decide: help the fugitives flee, or open the box and rewrite destiny, starting with her own.

Shards of Fate ignites The Cosmic Ones, a dark epic-fantasy saga of fallen gods, fractured relics, and the cost of tearing down a system built on sacrifice.

Perfect for readers of Leigh Bardugo, Brandon Sanderson, R.F. Kuang and Neil Gaiman.
