About this audiobook

Destiny beckons in a world of towering giants and fading gods... In the shadow of ancient prophecies, two women rise to challenge fate itself.


Jassae, a Mornae woman with untapped power, finds herself a prized captive of the Baikal giants. Torn from everything she knows, she must navigate a treacherous world of clan politics and divine magic. But as her abilities grow, so does the target on her back.


Syral, daughter of the Baikal chief, defies tradition to claim her birthright. Blessed by the goddess Aelath, she battles for her place beside her twin brother on the chieftain's rise. In a society that worships strength, her cunning may be the key to survival—or her downfall.


As these two women's paths collide, the very foundations of their world begin to crumble. Southern invaders threaten the borders, forgotten magics awaken, and the gods themselves seem to be fading. With every choice, Jassae and Syral shape the fate of nations.


Will they embrace their destined roles or forge their own paths? Can they outrun the long shadow of fate, or will it consume them—and their entire world?


Fans of intricate worldbuilding, morally complex characters, and high-stakes action will find themselves unable to put this book down. Prepare for sleepless nights as you unravel the mysteries of a world on the brink of chaos.
