1000 tulosta hakusanalla Aaron Hodges
Alana has been captured. She expected an agonizing death to follow, but instead, she now finds herself a guest of the Tsar. Locked away amidst the wealth and luxury, it isn't long before she learns the reason she was spared - her entire life has been a lie. Her true identity lurks within, chained by magic, but with promises of untold power. It terrifies her, and yet...she must know the truth. Meanwhile, ex-soldier Devon plans a fresh rebellion in Trola. But after carving his legend in the blood of their people, he's a marked man. He'll have to watch his step if he's to successfully negotiate the shifting tides of the Trolan cause - and not end up dead in the process. Either way, failure is not an option, because without an uprising, Alana will be lost to him forever... Grab this all new epic fantasy by New York Times Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges.
Wounded and alone, Alana has escaped the clutches of the Tsar. She's determined to forget his world of conquest and dark magic, but fate has other plans. Alana finds herself face-to-face with her grandmother - the one person she loathes even more than the Tsar himself. With his forces closing in, the two must choose whether to tear each other apart, or work together to defy their common enemy. Meanwhile, Devon stumbles upon Alana's brother lost in the forest. Taking the boy under his wing, he learns the Tsar needs both siblings to accomplish his grand ambition: to control all magic.

Enslaved in the mines of Lonia, Pela has forgotten the last time she saw the sun. For days uncounted she has toiled, scorned by her captors, forgotten. Her jailers think her cowed, but the blood of a warrior flows in her veins. When a new overseer arrives, Pela sees an opportunity. The man is young and untrained - he could easily be deceived. Meanwhile, the Plorsean King has been cast down. Supported by the Knights of Alana, his wife has seized the crown and plunged the nation into chaos. But the king is not dead yet. His champion slain, his throne usurped by the woman he loved, Braidon has nothing left but his rage. What better weapon to use against his treacherous wife?
High in the mountains, Pela and Ruebyn have finally escaped the deadly Knights of Alana. But the future remains uncertain, their only way forward the forbidden lands of Trola. Buoyed by their recent victory, Pela is confident they can overcome whatever lies ahead. When they find the Trolan countryside empty, its villages abandoned, they realise nothing is as it seems in the western nation. There is an evil on the air, an ancient darkness that neither sword nor magic can fight. Meanwhile, King Braidon has earned a victory against his treacherous wife and her zealous Knights. If only the war could be so easily won. Marianne still holds the capital, and has magic enough to conquer the Three Nations. Braidon must gather the forces of good beneath his banner, and fast, before the queen can march on his stronghold.

A thrilling new epic fantasy from the breathtaking world of NYTimes Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges Interview with the author So what was your inspiration for Daughter of Fate? When I started writing this book, I wanted to do something a little different. While there is a larger plot driving the action, Daughter of Fate is really about family and how that word can mean different things to different people. At the centre of the story is Pela and her uncle Devon, and their quest to rescue Pela's mother. In the past, Devon has conquered nations and defeated demons, but that now it's his family in danger, he may be too old to protect them. Is this your first novel? Daughter of Fate is my tenth complete novel The story is set in the Three Nations - where two of my prior trilogies were also based. The Sword of Light trilogy takes place 150 years before Daughter of Fate, while the Legend of the Gods tells the story of Devon when he was a young man. You can find both trilogies right here on Amazon What do you think makes a good story? I think a good story needs great characters. The plot and world can be as fascinating and expansive as you like, but you're not going to care about it unless you care about the characters. That's why I've always considered David Gemmell one of my greatest inspirations - his characters were so engaging, I could hardly bare to put down one of his novels. I also loved David Eddings, Tamora Pierce, and of course the great G.R.R. Martin for the same reasons Do you hear from your readers much? Do you want to hear from them? I do and I do I mostly keep in contact with my readers through my weekly newsletter (which you can subscribe to below) and my Facebook page, where I post about my travels around the world. Often you'll find my pictures strangely similar to some of the scenes and locations in my novels;-) There's a lot of European influence in Daughter of Fate. In fact, Pela's home village is taken straight from the tiny medieval town of Kotor, in Montenegro

Centuries ago, the world fell. From the ashes rose a terrible new species--the Tangata. Now they wage war against the kingdoms of man. And humanity is losing. Recruited straight from his academy, twenty-year-old Lukys hopes the frontier will make a soldier out of him. But Tangata are massing in the south, and the allied armies are desperate. They will do anything to halt the enemy advance--including sending untrained men and women into battle. Determined to survive, Lukys seeks aid from the only man who seems to care: Romaine, the last warrior of an extinct kingdom. Meanwhile, the Queen's Archivist leads an expedition deep beneath the earth. She seeks to uncover the secrets of the Gods. Their magic has been lost to the ages, yet artefacts remain, objects of power that could turn the tide of the war. But salvation is not all that waits beneath the surface. Something else slumbers in the darkness. Something old. Something evil.
Pursued by the inhuman Tangata, Lukys flees on foot through the wilderness. He and his companions make for the ocean, a stolen ship their only hope-but even that may prove fleeting. For should they reach the island of Perfugia, a war is brewing between the kingdoms of humanity. Lukys fears he will find only more death on the shores of their homeland. But they have nowhere else left to go.Meanwhile, the Queen's Archivist might hold the key to peace. Standing before the City of the Gods, Erika has dreamed of this moment her entire life-so why does she feel such dread? The City is nothing like she imagined, plain stone buildings in place of soaring towers. And the Gods have sworn against interference in the struggles of lesser beings. She must make them see the truth, convince them to abandon their ancient laws, or humanity will fall. And the Tangata will rule, ascendant.
