Fate Born: Kingdoms of Kartzel

Aria, Luca, and the rest of the gang survived a frozen wasteland planet, a human-trafficking ring leader with a penchant for murder, and the cunning second lady of Drammat who left them to die, only to find that no one believes their story. Instead of being hailed as heroes for releasing thousands of unlawfully imprisoned innocents, they are painted as terrorists.

Separated from her friends and forced to endure torturous brainwashing sessions guised as therapy, Aria no longer knows which of her memories from Sratta are real and which are planted by Drammat’s agents. All she wants is to return to her friends at The Academy. But when she arrives, it’s only to realize that President Gray intends to rip every single one of them away from Aria.

Afraid for their lives and desperate to keep their memories, Aria, Luca, and the gang face their most difficult decision yet—submit to Gray’s brainwashing and find a life of peace bought with their silence, or leave behind everything and everyone they’ve ever known in a desperate attempt to escape Drammat and the horrifying fate that awaits them if they stay.

Kingdoms of Kartzel is the second installment of the Fate Born Tetralogy and is perfect for fans of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.
