Three fae spies on the mission of their lives. One Fate-Touched slave they crave to possess. In a journey across worlds where humans exist for the pleasure of other creatures, will they protect their captive, or ensure her demise? I was brought to a slave outpost on a dying rock as a child. For years, I've kept my head down, hoping I'm not noticed. The new Masters never understand what I am, why I'm dangerous, or why they should leave me alone. But they learn. They learn, or they die. For I am Kismet. Fate-Touched. I can't be hurt without fate delivering swift punishment to those who harm me. Until the day three fae traders arrive-beautiful, cunning, and dangerous. The first beings to be immune to fate's wrath. Locke, the cold mage who claims that humans are merely deceptive enemies, yet watches me with heat in his eyes. Morgan, the half-orc whose gentle touch belies his broken past. Jak, the healer who mends more than just flesh, makes me yearn for an impossible freedom. When they take me from the only place I've ever known to be sold in the Dark Realms, I discover they're not what they pretend to be. They come from another place. A place where humans are free. Their molten gazes contradict every instinct I've honed for survival. Each lingering touch is an exquisite promise that pulls me deeper into their webs. As an intoxicating power rises within me, can I trust their caresses? Or should I listen to reason and give in to the shadows that have kept me safe, the ones that whisper my name in the dark? Even a Fate-Touched must eventually sacrifice for survival here, and in the Dark Realms, fate will take its price in blood. Contains mature content.
