A Fate of Wrath & Flame by K.A. Tucker (Paperback)

A Fate of Wrath & Flame follows Romeria, a gifted thief who has risen from street-level survival to stealing jewels for New York City’s most notorious crime boss. Her skills and cunning make her a master of deception—but her latest task plunges her into a world far beyond anything she has known.

An enigmatic woman forces Romeria into a dangerous mission: to steal a stone from Islor’s sacred garden while assuming the identity of a captured Ybarisan princess. This princess is considered an enemy, responsible for the poisoning of Islor’s king and queen on her wedding day. Romeria must navigate the perilous politics and deep-seated rivalries of warring elven factions while keeping her true identity secret or facing certain death.

King Zander, the newly crowned monarch and the princess’s betrothed, despises her—but also values her alive. He offers Romeria a choice: life in a cell or a chance to prove her loyalty by helping him uncover a growing plot against his throne.

As Romeria becomes enmeshed in court intrigues, dangerous feuds, and the sacred garden’s hidden secrets, she finds herself drawn to the king in ways she never anticipated. Her journey reveals monstrous truths, ancient vendettas, and the lengths one will go for survival—and for love. Nothing in her world will ever be the same again.
